De Vylder Approximations to the Moments and Distribution of the Time Ruin

De Vylder (1978) proposed a method of approximating the probability of ultimate ruin in the classical risk model. In this paper we show that his ideas can be extended to approximate the moments and distribution of the time to ruin.
