1 Appl. Math. J. Chinese Univ. 21, 25(2: Asymptotics of discounted aggregate claims for renewal risk model with risky investment JIANG Tao Abstract. Under the assumption that the claim size is subexponentially distributed and the insurance surplus is totally invested in risky asset, a simple asymptotic relation of tail probability of discounted aggregate claims for renewal risk model within finite horizon is obtained. The result extends the corresponding conclusions of related references. 1 Introduction Consider a renewal risk model, in which the claims X n for n 1 form a sequence of independent identically distributed(i.i.d. non-negative random variables(r.v.s with a common distribution function(d.f. F(x 1 F(x P(X x for x [, and finite mean µ EX 1. The inter-occurrence times θ n for n 1 form another sequence of i.i.d. nonnegative r.v.s with mean Eθ 1 1/λ. The random variables σ k k θ i for k 1, 2,... constitute a renewal counting process N(t sup {n 1, 2,... : σ n t} (1.1 with mean λ(t EN(t. By convention, the cardinality of the empty set is. It becomes a compound Poisson model when θ n is exponentially distributed. The total amount of claims accumulated by time t is represented as a compound sum S(t N(t X k, t, (1.2 where the summation over an empty index set is considered to be. Let x > be the initial surplus and let c > be the rate at which the premium is collected. The total surplus up to time t, denoted by U(t, can be expressed as U(t x + ct S(t.

2 21 Appl. Math. J. Chinese Univ. Vol. 25, No. 2 If an insurance company invests its capital totally in risky asset (for example, stock, its dynamic capital should be specified by a geometric Brownian motion dv t V t (rdt + σdb(t (1.4 where {B(t, t } is a standard Brownian motion, r and σ are expected rate of return and volatility coefficient respectively. By Klebaner[1], (1.4 has the solution V t V e σb(t+βt in which β r σ 2 /2. Therefore, D(t, the present value of discounted aggregate claims from time t, can be expressed as D(t N(t X i e σb(σi βσi (1.5 where {X n, n 1}, {N(t, t } and {B(t, t } are assumed to be mutually independent. In modern actuarial risk theory, some parameters at ruin are both of theoretical interest and of practical value, for examples, the present value of discounted sum of dividend payments until ruin occurs, the deficit at ruin, and the severity of ruin. See, for instance, Gerber[7], Lin and Willmot[15], Lin et al.[16] and other references therein. On the other hand, in the practice of insurance industry, a chief risk officer is quite interested in the present value of discounted aggregate claims at ruin. It is well known that the pricing of premium depends heavily on it. Hence the study of D(t is very significant. If σ, we say that all the capital is non-risky. Then (1.3 becomes U(t xe rt + c t N(t e r(t s ds X k e r(t σk, (1.6 which corresponds to the case of constant interest force. See, for instance, Tang[17], Jiang and Yan[9], and Konstantinides et al.[14]. In modelling extremal event, heavy-tailed risk has played an important role in insurance and finance, because it can describe large claims efficiently; see Embrechts et al.[5], Kong[12,13] and Goldie & Klüppelberg[8] for nice reviews. We give here several important classes of heavy-tailed distributions for further references: (1 Class R α : A distribution F belongs to R α if F(x x α L(x, x >, where L(x is a slowly varying function as x and the index α <. The class R α is called the class of regularly varying functions, or the class of Pareto-like function class with index α. (2 Class ERV ( α, β: A distribution F belongs to ERV ( α, β if for some < α β < and for any y > 1, y β F(uy liminf u F(u limsup F(uy u F(u y α. (3 Class L (Long-tailed: A distribution F belongs to L if for any t (or equivalently, for t 1, F(x + t lim 1. x F(x

(5 Class S (Subexponential: A distribution F belongs to S if for any n (or equivalently, for n 2, F lim n (x n. x F(x Here F n is the n-fold convolution of F, with the convention that F is a d.f. degenerate at. These heavy-tailed classes have the following inclusions[7]: R α ERV ( α, β L D S L. (1.7 All limit processes in this paper, unless otherwise stated, are for x. We write A B for the fact that lim x A(x/B(x 1. We present the main result(theorem 2.1 and some related lemmas in Section 2. Then we give the proof of Theorem 2.1 in Section 3. 2 Main result and some lemmas The following theorem is the main result of this paper. Theorem 2.1 In the renewal risk model introduced in Section 1, if F L D, then the discounted aggregate claims up to time T satisfies P(D(T > x P(X 1 e βs σb(s xdm(s, (2.1 where m(s is the renewal function of the process, i.e., m(s EN(s and β r σ 2 /2. If T, then P(D( > x P(X 1 e βs σb(s xdm(s. (2.2 Remark. This result is closely related to the ruin probability ψ(x, T within time T with ψ(x, T P( inf U(t < U( x tt P(U(t < for some T t. (2.3 Therefore, ψ(x, is called the ultimate ruin probability. The asymptotic behavior of the ultimate ruin probability is an important topic in risk theory. Many results have been obtained, see, for instance, Embrechts and Veraverbeke[12], Klüppelberg and Stadtmuller[13], Asmussen[14], Asmussen et al.[15], Tang[16,17], Jiang and Yan[6], and Bi and Yin[18]. Because of the close relationship between the asymptotic formula of P(D(T > x and the asymptotic formula of ψ(x; T (in fact, in some cases P(D(T > x ψ(x; T, Tang[19] investigated the asymptotic formula of P(D(T > x for the ERV class with constant interest force. He established a simple but nice uniformity relationship.
4 212 Appl. Math. J. Chinese Univ. Vol. 25, No. 2 Theorem 2.1 generalizes some corresponding results in the literature. For example, in the Poisson case with σ, (2.2 becomes xe rt P(D(T > x λ F(y dy, (2.4 r x y which is consistence with the result obtained by Asmussen et al.[15] and Jiang and Yan[6]. Similarly, when F R α and the perturbed term disappears, the result of Tang[2] is consistence with (2.2, i.e., Ee rαθ1 P(D( > x F(x. (2.5 rαθ1 1 Ee In this paper, we extend these results to the case with risky investment and to an important subclass L D of the subexponential distribution class S, which is much larger than the ERV class. To prove Theorem 2.1, we need some lemmas. Lemma 2.1.[8] If F is subexponential, the tail of its n-fold convolution is bounded by the tail of F in the following way. For any ε >, there exists A(ε > such that uniformly for all n 1 and all x, we have F n (x A(ε(1 + ε n F(x. (2.6 Lemma 2.2.[17] Let {X i, 1 i n} be n i.i.d. subexponential r.v.s with common distribution F. Then for any fixed < a b <, uniformly we have ( n n P c i X i > x P(c i X i > x for all a c i b with 1 i n. Lemma 2.3.[21] Let X and Y be two independent random variables with distributions F and G and let H be the distribution of the product X and Y. (1 Suppose F L and G does not degenerate to zero. If for any fixed a >, it is true that then XY L. (2 If F D and P(Y > >, then H D. G(x/a lim, x H(x (3 If X S and Y is bounded and does not degenerate to zero, then H S. 3 Proof of Theorem 2.1 Let (t βt σb(t. From Lemma 2.1, we know that there exists a constant C(ε > such that P X i e (t x C(ε(1 + ε k P(X 1 e (t x (3.1

For any arbitrarily fixed ε > and all integer k N, by Lemma 2.1 and the condition on N(T k, we have P X i e (σi x, N(T k P X i e (θ1 xe max θ 1 st ( (s, N(T k P X i e (t xe max tst ( (s, A(ε CA(ε i2 k+1 θ i T t, θ i > T t df θ1 (t P X i e (t xe v P(N(T t k 1dH(vdF θ1 (t P(X 1 e (t xe v (1 + ε k P(N(T t k 1dH(vdF θ1 (t P(X 1 e (t x(1 + ε k P(N(T t k 1dF θ1 (t. (3.3 In the last step, we have used the property of the D class and Lemma 2.3. Consequently, (3.3 holds for any x x for some sufficiently large x >. Hence, for large x, P X i e (σi x, N(T k kn +1 CA(ε P(X 1 e (t x kn +1 [ ] CA(εE (1 + ε N(T T I(N(T N i2 (1 + ε k P(N(T t kdf θ1 (t P(X 1 e (t xdf θ1 (t.

(3.5

(3.6 kn +1 By Lemma 2.2 and the dominated convergent theorem, for k 1, 2,..., N we have P X i e (σi x, N(T k (v 1v 2 v k T,v k+1 >T (v 1v 2 v k T,v k+1 >T (v 1v 2 v k T,v k+1 >T P X i e (vi x df(v 1,..., v k+1 E (v 1v 2 v k T,v k+1 >T [ [ E P ]] X i e (vi x B(v 1,..., B(v k df(v 1,..., v k+1 [ [ E E P ( X i e (vi x B(v 1,..., B(v k ]] df(v 1,..., v k+1 P ( X i e (vi x df(v 1,..., v k+1 P ( X i e (σi x, N(T k. (3.7 Similarly, we have N P X i e (σi x, N(T k N P ( X i e (σi x, N(T k. Hence there exists some x 1 x 1 (ε, T > such that for all x > x 1, it is true that N P X i e (σi x, N(T k (1 + η P(X i e (σi x, N(T k (1 + η (1 + η (1 + η P(X i e (σi x, N(T i P(X i e (σi x, σ i T P(X 1 e (s xd F σi (s (1 + η P(X 1 e (s xdm(s. (3.8 Thus, combining (3.6 with (3.9, for x > max(x, x 1, we have P ( N(T X i e (σi x (1 + 2η P(X 1 e (s xdm(s. (3.9
