No benefit gives zero second claim moment.

Mathematical relation:

E[Z02]=0\mathbb{E}[Z_0^2]=0

For this statement, the yearly death event, valuation origin and life-law normalisation follow the stated hypotheses. Death benefits are settled at the end of the policy year, whereas a maturity amount is payable at its anniversary. Every formula represents a currently open formal obligation unless it is a definition.
