Increasing life expectancy as well as decreasing levels of state retirement pensions have led to the rapid growth of variable annuities (VA), products allowing guaranteed payments and participation in the financial markets at the same time. Due to the complex structure of these products and their exposure to different risk factors, consistent pricing of variable annuities becomes a comprehensive task. This work shows how explicit analytical expressions for prices of different VA contracts can be derived in a hybrid model for financial, insurance and behavioral risks.
