Summary/Abstract: When pricing a life insurance we have to choose the hypotheses on the mortality and on the future evolution of the interest rates. A small variation of the interest rate has a greater impact on the actual value of a life insurance contract then a small variation of the mortality. The paper treats the evolution of the modalities of managing the risk of interest rate, the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
