Optimal retention for profit maximizing under VaR levels constraints
Abstract
We consider the problem of finding the optimal retention that maximizes the insurer's profit under different value-at-risk level constraints. We propose simulation optimization for the determination of optimal retention in stop-loss reinsurance using a package program which incorporates a simulation optimizer. Efficient frontier analysis is carried out to investigate maximum profit obtainable for a given risk level and minimum risk level obtainable for a given mean return under stop-loss reinsurance.
