For the inverse Gaussian sum closure, take x=s/n>0. The saddle solves t=(ϕ−λ/x2)/2, and K′′(t)=x3/λ. Substitution in the saddlepoint density approximation gives
f​Sn​​(s)=2π​s3/2nλ​​exp[nλϕ​−21​(sn2λ​+ϕs)].

This is the exact sum density, so its leading saddlepoint expression needs no correction or renormalization.
