For quota share reinsurance the insurer retains the same fraction of each claim, so
The annual retained loss is consequently . Each transformed risk severity has probability density function for . The mixed transformed severity, with the same weights , still gives a compound Poisson distribution. Scaling the expected value and variance gives
This agrees with the general retained-claim formulas because and .
