Summary/Abstract: The insurer calculates the premium to the portfolio by increasing the minimum net premium by the value of the safety factor. The safety factor is the secret of each insurance company. The paper presents methods for determining the safety factor, using the principle of total claims distribution quantile of portfolio insurance. Determining the distribution of the sums of claims is possible among others through approximations with certain theoretical distributions or by applying simulation methods. The results of the analysis of the size of safety factors determined by total claims distribution approximations are presented in the paper.
