Abstract :
In this note we consider how to maximise the adjustment coefficient in the case of proportional reinsurance. This complements some work of Waters (1983), where it was shown that there is a unique retention level maximising the adjustment coefficient. The advantage of our method is that only one implicit equation has to be solved.
