Abstract:

This paper studies the optimal investment and reinsurance strategies of a loss-averse insurer, considering inflation risk and minimum performance guarantee. Assume that the insurance surplus is correlated with the inflation-indexed bond process and the stock price process. The investment options of the insurer include inflation-indexed bond, stock and risk-free asset. Meanwhile, the insurer can purchase proportional reinsurance to diversify risks. Under the criterion of maximizing the expected S-shaped utility, the detailed expressions of the optimal investment and reinsurance strategies are derived by using the martingale method, and the influences of parameter variations on the investment and reinsurance strategies are analyzed by numerical simulations.

Key words: Proportional reinsurance, S-shaped utility function, Inflation, Minimum performance guarantee, Martingale method
