The classical problem of identifying the optimal reinsurance arrangement for a one-period model is examined under some risk measure criteria. We develop a new methodology via a two-stage optimisation procedure which allows us to not only recover some existing results in the literature, but also...

Capital efficiency and asset/liability management are part of the Enterprise Risk Management Process of any insurance/reinsurance conglomerate and serve as quantitative methods to fulfill the strategic planning within an insurance organisation. There has been a considerable amount of work in...

The risk exposure of a business line could be perceived in many ways and is sensitive to the exercise that is performed. One way is to understand the effect of some common/reference risk over the performance of the business line in question, but irrespective of the modelling exercise, the...

Evaluating risk measures, premiums, and capital allocation based on dependent multi-losses is a notoriously difficult task. In this paper, we demonstrate how this can be successfully accomplished when losses follow the multivariate Pareto distribution of the second kind, which is an attractive...

Optimal risk transfers are derived within an insurance group consisting of two separate legal entities, operating under potentially different regulatory capital requirements and capital costs. Consistently with regulatory practice, capital requirements for each entity are computed by either a...

This paper presents an extension of the classical compound Poisson risk model for which the inter-claim time and the forthcoming claim amount are no longer independent random variables. Asymptotic tail probabilities for the discounted aggregate claims are presented when the force of interest is...

Decision-makers who usually face model/parameter risk may prefer to act prudently by identifying optimal contracts that are robust to such sources of uncertainty. In this paper, we tackle this issue under a finite uncertainty set that contains a number of probability models that are candidates...

Intra-group transfers are risk management tools that are usually widely used to optimise the risk position of an insurance group. In this paper, it is shown that premium and liability transfers could be optimally made in such a way as to reduce the amount of Technical Provisions and Minimum...
