Abstract
We develop an arbitrage approach to pricing insurance bonds bearing currency risk. It implements the technique of forward-neutral change of numeraire and computes first-passage-time distributions of drifted Brownian notions. Closed-form solutions are derived or simulations are performed depending on whether interest rates are deterministic or not. Nature risk is in general more significant than currency risk.
