Abstract

Abstract— This paper examines the minimum initial capital an insurer needs to maintain to prevent insolvency, given that the probability of ruin does not surpass 1% and 5% of the discrete-time surplus process with an investment in a mutual fund. The simulation method is employed to determine the probability of ruin, while the regression technique is utilized for calculating the minimum initial capital.
