In this paper, we consider the inclusion of the solvency capital requirement (SCR) into portfolio optimization by the use of a quadratic proxy model. The Solvency II directive requires insurance companies to calculate their SCR based on the complete loss distribution for the upcoming year. Since...

The least-squares Monte Carlo method has proved to be a suitable approximation technique for the calculation of a life insurer's solvency capital requirements. We suggest to enhance it by the use of a neural network based approach to construct the proxy function that models the insurer's loss...
