In this paper we examine and summarize properties of several well-known risk measures that can be used in the framework of setting solvency capital requirements for a risky business. Special attention is given to the class of (concave) distortion risk measures. We investigate the relationship...

We consider the problem of how to determine the required level of the current provision in order to be able to meet a series of future deterministic payment obligations, in case the provision is invested according to a given random return process. Approximate solutions are derived, taking into...

We investigate multiperiod portfolio selection problems in a Black & Scholes type market where a basket of 1 riskfree and m risky securities are traded continuously. We look for the optimal allocation of wealth within the class of 'constant mix' portfolios.First, we consider the portfolio...

Even in case of the Brownian motion as most natural rate of return model it appears too difficult to obtain analytic expressions for most risk measures of constant continuous annuities. In literature so-called comonotonic approximations have been proposed but these still require the evaluation...
