Résumé : The health of an individual is an important factor that affects the financial results of life insurance business. We focus on factoring health to different actuarial applications by using phase-type methods. In particular, we estimate the distribution of the discounted profits and losses (below, “P&L”) of a pension fund, where new pensioners arrive each year. To model P&L we consider both deterministic and stochastic arrivals of new pensioners. The properties of the phase-type method allow us to valuate the financial impact of living longer due to population selection and due to health improvements.
