Overview

About the programme

Research of the Actuarial Science and Mathematical Finance (ASMF) group at the University of Amsterdam is mainly directed at insurance companies (for life, non-life, pension and social insurance) and pension funds, but also considers other financial intermediaries.

Research is performed on the mathematical modelling, estimation, evaluation and control of the risks related to such financial institutions, under complete and incomplete information and for complete and incomplete markets.

This typically involves the development of new mathematical and statistical methods and applications thereof in optimal control and asset pricing.

Programme Structure

Within the ASMF research programme, there is an emphasis on 3 areas:

Stochastic models for liquidity, inflation, and future survival rates
Supervision and regulation of insurance companies and pension funds
Present-day challenges in non-life insurance contracts
