Abstract
This dissertation illustrates how in-house dynamic hedging could be evaluated through modeling, simulation and sensitivity testing. The illustration helps to illuminate the financial benefits and associated risks of dynamic hedging, but does not provide a specific conclusion on whether dynamic hedging shoul be implemented. Ultimately this decision will depend on the unique circumstances and strategic objecitves of the life office. The scope of the dissertation is thus limited to an illustration and discussion of the relevant issues only and specifically does not cover the costing of in-house dynamically hedged guarantees.
