Abstract

In this paper, we consider a non-standard renewal risk model with dependent claim sizes, where an insurance company is allowed to invest his/her wealth in financial assets, leading to some stochastic investment log-returns described as a general adapted càdlàg process. Under the assumptions that the claim sizes are heavy-tailed and the stochastic log-return process on investments is bounded from below almost surely, we derive some asymptotic formulas for the finite-time ruin probability holding uniformly in any finite time horizon.
