This paper provides a detailed quantitative assessment of the impact of solvency capital requirements on product pricing and shareholder value for a life insurer. A multi-period firm value maximization model for a life annuity provider, allowing for stochastic mortality and asset returns, imperfectly elastic product demand, as well as frictional costs, is used to derive optimal capital and pricing strategies for a range of solvency levels reflecting differences in regulatory regimes.
