We present a model for P/L insurance companies based on Asset-Liability-Management (ALM). We show analytically for multivariate normal distributed assets and claims that an overall minimum of the required risk capital can be obtained by refining the firm's asset allocation when including a ruin...

We develop portfolio optimization problems to a non-life insurance company for finding the minimum capital required, which simultaneously satisfy solvency and portfolio performance constraints. Motivated by standard insurance regulations, we consider solvency capital requirements based on three...

This paper derives Asset and Liability Management ('ALM') interest rate risk measures (i.e. duration and convexity gaps) applicable to Life insurance companies that are adequate such as asset and liability-driven strategies can be used within a mix of tactics and instruments to achieve financial...

In this paper, we use risk-sensitive control methods to solve a jump-diffusion Asset-Liability Management (ALM) problem. We show that the ALM problem admits a unique classical solution under two different sets of assumptions

The present paper analyzes optimal supervisory rules for pension funds taking account of diverse pension security mechanisms: support provided by either a pension guarantee fund, a plan sponsor or by both. Assuming that the regulatory rule is either to control the shortfall probability or...

This study investigates whether banks and insurance corporations perform regulatory arbitrage by buying bonds with inflated credit ratings. We argue that credit rating based capital requirements incentivize banks and insurance corporations to hold more bonds with inflated credit ratings. We...

In recent years the financial markets known a rapid development and become more and more complex. So, many regulatory requirements, focused on banks as well as insurance sector, have been developed. These regulatory are concentrated essentially on business risk control and required capital to...

We formulate the multi-period, time consistent mean-CVAR (Conditional Value at Risk) asset allocation problem in a form amenable to numerical computation. Our numerical algorithm can impose realistic constraints such as: no shorting, no-leverage, and discrete rebalancing. We focus on long term...

We develop a robust optimal dynamic hedging strategy that takes both downside risks and market incompleteness into account for an agent who fears model misspecification. The robust agent is assumed to minimize the shortfall between the assets and liabilities under an endogenous worst case...

The Solvency II framework challenges insurers to evaluate and manage their embedded balance sheet risks appropriately. However, insurances hold balance sheet items, for which closed-form solutions and market prices are not available. Pure Monte Carlo valuation requires nested simulations, which...
