Cancellation (insurance) Cancellation of an insurance policy before the end of the policy period has the effect of ending the insurance coverage on the date of the cancellation. This can result in a partial return premium which can be calculated in different ways depending on the method specified in the policy.
Duration (finance) In finance, the duration of a financial asset that consists of fixed cash flows, such as a bond, is the weighted average of the times until those fixed cash flows are received. When the price of an asset is considered as a function of yield, duration also measures the price sensitivity to yield, the rate of change of price ...
Actuarial reserves. In insurance, an actuarial reserve is a reserve set aside for future insurance liabilities. It is generally equal to the actuarial present value of the future cash flows of a contingent event. In the insurance context an actuarial reserve is the present value of the future cash flows of an insurance policy and the total ...
Actuarial present value. The actuarial present value ( APV) is the expected value of the present value of a contingent cash flow stream (i.e. a series of payments which may or may not be made). Actuarial present values are typically calculated for the benefit-payment or series of payments associated with life insurance and life annuities.
The interest in each such period (or partial period) is then computed, and then the amounts are summed over the number of quasi-coupon periods. For details, see or the ISDA paper. [4] This method ensures that all coupon payments are always for the same amount. It also ensures that all days in a coupon period are valued equally.
The effective interest rate ( EIR ), effective annual interest rate, annual equivalent rate ( AER) or simply effective rate is the percentage of interest on a loan or financial product if compound interest accumulates in periods different than a year. [ 1] It is the compound interest payable annually in arrears, based on the nominal interest rate.
Time value of money. The present value of $1,000, 100 years into the future. Curves represent constant discount rates of 2%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. The time value of money is the widely accepted conjecture that there is greater benefit to receiving a sum of money now rather than an identical sum later.
Graph of number of coupons, n vs the expected number of trials (i.e., time) needed to collect them all, E (T ) In probability theory, the coupon collector's problem refers to mathematical analysis of "collect all coupons and win" contests.
