Method guaranteed()

Present values of guaranteed benefits (paid in advance or arrears, possible multiple times per year)

Usage

PVfactory$guaranteed(
  advance = NULL,
  arrears = NULL,
  start = 0,
  ...,
  m = private$m,
  mCorrection = private$mCorrection,
  v = private$v
)

Arguments

advance
