Abstract

We study the asymptotic of the ruin probability for a process which is the solution of linear SDE defined by a pair of independent L\'evy processes. Our main interest is the model describing the evolution of the capital reserve of an insurance company selling annuities and investing in a risky asset. Let β>0\beta>0 be the root of the cumulant-generating function HH of the increment of the log price process VV. We show that the ruin probability admits the exact asymptotic CuβCu^{-\beta} as the initial capital uu\to\infty assuming only that the law of VTV_T is non-arithmetic without any further assumptions on the price process.
