## Analytical Finance The statistical estimation problem of (high) quantiles plays a fundamental role in both insurance and finance. For instance the pricing of Catastrophe Excess of Loss (CAT-XL) covers gives an example of the former, whereas the estimation of Value-at-Risk (VaR) in risk manageme

โฆ Synopsis
Starting from the moment generating function of the annuity certain with stochastic interest rate written by means of a time discretization of the Wiener process as an n-fold integral, a straightforward evaluation of the corresponding distribution function is obtained by letting n tend to infinity. The advantage of the present method consists in the direct calculation technique of the n-fold integral, instead of using moment calculation or differential equations, and in the possible applicability of the present method to varying annuities which could be applied to IBNR results, as well as to pension fund calculations, etc.
