Ruin probability of insurer in a discrete time setting with heavy-tailed insurance and financial risks

This paper investigates the probability of ruin within a finite period of time in the context of an insurance company. It examines the reserve of an insurance business that is currently invested in a risky asset. There are 2 types of risks faced by the insurer: financial and insurance risks. This pa...
