Worst-case investment and reinsurance optimization for an insurer under model uncertainty (Q2398561): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this paper, we study optimal investment-reinsurance strategies for an insurer who faces model uncertainty. The insurer is allowed to acquire new business and invest into a financial market which consists of one risk-free asset and one risky asset whose price process is modeled by a geometric Brownian motion. Minimizing the expected quadratic distance of the terminal wealth to a given benchmark under the ``worst-case'' scenario, we obtain the closed-form expressions of optimal strategies and the corresponding value function by solving the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Numerical examples are presented to show the impact of model parameters on the optimal strategies.
