For the Poisson distribution, , so the aggregate has a compound Poisson distribution andThree differentiations immediately giveThe first two cumulants are and . If and claim sizes are strictly positive, , so the paper's unstandardized skewness is strictly positive. For the degenerate count , the aggregate is zero and the third central moment is zero; strict positivity presumes a positive claim intensity.
