Abstract :
Stimulated by a recent contribution by G. Venter in this journal the adequateness of (re-)insurance premium calculation based on the hypothesis of arbitrage free (re-)insurance markets is questioned. It is argued that -in contrast to the theory of financial markets- it is not reasonable to demand that insurance markets are arbitrage free. In addition the adjusted distribution principles put forward by Venter are claimed to be invalid.
