We describe two procedures that assist insurance firms in determining shareholders' risk tolerance thresholds and in using such thresholds within the decision-making process. The first procedure is based on parsimonious measures of the risk/return tradeoff such as the Sharpe Ratio; the second procedure makes a direct use of expected utility theory.

Abstract

We describe two procedures that assist insurance firms in determining shareholders' risk tolerance thresholds and in using such thresholds within the decision-making process. The first procedure is based on parsimonious measures of the risk/return tradeoff such as the Sharpe Ratio; the second procedure makes a direct use of expected utility theory.
