Abstract: An infinite convergent sum of independent and identically distributed random variables discounted by a multiplicative random walk is called perpetuity, because of a possible actuarial application. We give three disjoint groups of sufficient conditions which ensure that the distribution right tail of a perpetuity mathbbPX>x is asymptotic to axce−bx as xoinfty for some a,b>0 and cinmathbbR. Our results complement those of Denisov and Zwart [J. Appl. Probab. 44 (2007), 1031--1046]. As an auxiliary tool we provide criteria for the finiteness of the one-sided exponential moments of perpetuities. Several examples are given in which the distributions of perpetuities are explicitly identified.
