A note on bequest preferences in utility maximisation for modern tontines
In this short note, we address two issues in the literature about modern tontines with bequest and utility maximisation: how to verify optimal controls and the decreasing allocation of funds in the tontine. We want to raise awareness in the actuarial community about the dual approach to solve optimal control problems when working with power utilities. Additionally, we point out that bequest preferences should be time-dependent or otherwise yield unrealistic investment strategies. We base our attempt at modelling bequest preferences on common sense rules like 100% payback upon death at the start that vanishes over time. Our modelling shows that the resulting investment strategy almost linearly adjusts the allocation in the tontine from 0% to 100% over time.

Closed-form Solutions for an Explicit Modern Ideal Tontine with Bequest Motive
In this paper I extend the work of Bernhardt and Donnelly (2019) dealing with modern explicit tontines, as a way of providing income under a specified bequest motive, from a defined contribution pension pot. A key featur…
FormModern tontine with bequest: innovation in pooled annuity products
We introduce a new pension product that offers retirees the opportunity for a lifelong income and a bequest for their estate. Based on a tontine mechanism, the product divides pension savings between a tontine account an…
Modern Tontine with Transaction Costs
In this paper, we propose a new type of reversible modern tontine with transaction costs. The wealth of the retiree is divided into a bequest account and a tontine account. And consumption can only be withdrawn from the …
Duality Theory for Robust Utility Maximisation
In this paper we present a duality theory for the robust utility maximisation problem in continuous time for utility functions defined on the positive real axis. Our results are inspired by -- and can be seen as the robu…
Social preferences and expected utility
It is well known that ex ante social preferences and expected utility are not always compatible. In this note, we introduce a novel framework that naturally separates social preferences from selfish preferences to answer…
