Abstract: A generalization of the classical risk process is considered where the premium rate depends on the current reserve of an insurance company. We assume that the corresponding function converges to a limit with the exponential rate and prove that the limit of the exponentially weighted ruin function exists as the initial reserve increases. Two-sided estimates for the limit are found; the estimates show that the limit is positive under certain assumptions on the stability.
