Abstract

Considering open portfolios, we analyze bonus–malus systems (BMS) under a realistic approach, as we already did in Guerreiro and Mexia (Discuss. Math. Probab. Stat. 24(2):197–213, 2004). Using stochastic vortices model we are now able to predict long-run distribution through confidence intervals.
