In the recent actuarial literature, several proofs have been given for the fact that if a random vector (X1,X2, . . .,Xn) with given marginals has a comonotonic joint distribution, the sum X1 + X2 + middot; middot; middot; + Xn is the largest possible in convex order. In this note we give a...

In an insurance context,one is often interested in the distribution function of a sum of random variables. Such a sum appears when considering the aggregate claims of an insurance portfolio over a certain reference period. It also appears when considering discounted payments related to a single...
