Abstract: This paper studies the use of simulation techniques to model complex situations in insurance business, where the risk process for old and new business are modeled by compound Poisson processes. The simulation is used to benchmark the solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and to obtain results in the case of distributions, where solutions cannot be obtained analytically. We also explore the problem of estimating the probability of achieving a target capital before ruin.
