Truncated Stop Loss as Optimal Reinsurance Agreement in One-period Models By
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider several one-period reinsurance models and derive a rule which minimizes the ruin probability of the cedent for a fixed reinsurance risk premium. The premium is calculated according to the economic principle, generalized zero-utility principle, Esscher principle or mean-variance principles. It turns out that a truncated stop loss is an optimal treaty in the class of all reinsurance contracts. The result is also valid for models not involving ruin probability. An example is the Arrow model with the Kahneman-Tversky value function.

Optimal VaR-based risk management with reinsurance
It is well-known that reinsurance can be an effective risk management solution for financial institutions such as the insurance companies. The optimal reinsurance solution depends on a number of factors including the criterion of optimization and the premium principle adopted by the reinsurer. In this paper, we analyze the Value-at-Risk (VaR) based optimal risk management solution using reinsur...
متن کاملOptimal retention for a stop-loss reinsurance with incomplete information
This paper considers the determination of optimal retention in a stop-loss reinsurance. Assume that we only have incomplete information on a risk X for an insurer, we use an upper bound for the value at risk (VaR) of the total loss of an insurer after stop-loss reinsurance arrangement as a risk measure. The adopted method is a distribution-free approximation which allows to construct the extrem...
متن کاملOptimal Reinsurance under VaR and CTE Risk Measures
Let X denote the loss initially assumed by an insurer. In a reinsurance design, the insurer cedes part of its loss, say f(X), to a reinsurer, and thus the insurer retains a loss If (X) = X − f(X). In return, the insurer is obligated to compensate the reinsurer for undertaking the risk by paying the reinsurance premium. Hence, the sum of the retained loss and the reinsurance premium can be inter...
متن کاملStop Loss Reinsurance
Stop loss is a nonproportional type of reinsurance and works similarly to excess-of-loss reinsurance. While excess-of-loss is related to single loss amounts, either per risk or per event, stop-loss covers are related to the total amount of claims X in a year – net of underlying excess-of-loss contracts and/or proportional reinsurance. The reinsurer pays the part of X that exceeds a certain amou...
متن کاملOptimal reinsurance for variance related premium calculation principles
In this paper we deal with the numerical computation of the optimal form of reinsurance from the ceding company point of view, when the cedent seeks to maximize the adjustment coefficient of the retained risk and the reinsurance loading is an increasing function of the variance. We compare the optimal treaty with the best stop loss policy. The optimal arrangement can provide a significant impro...
