Abstract
We investigate the asymptotics of ruin probabilities when the company invests its reserve in a risky asset with a regime-switching price. We assume that the asset price is a conditional geometric Brownian motion with parameters modulated by a Markov process with a finite number of states. Using techniques from implicit renewal theory, we obtain the rate of convergence to zero of the ruin probabilities as the initial capital tends to infinity.
