Abstract
In this paper, we consider an optimal proportional reinsurance and investment problem for an insurer whose objective is to maximise the expected exponential utility of terminal wealth. Suppose that the insurer's surplus process follows a Brownian motion with drift. The insurer is allowed to purchase proportional reinsurance and invest in a financial market consisting of a risk-free asset and a risky asset whose price process is described by the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. The correlation between risk model and the risky asset's price is considered. By applying dynamic programming approach, we derive the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation. The asymptotic expansions of the solution to the partial differential equation (PDE) derived from the HJB equation are presented as the parameter appearing in the exponent of the diffusion coefficient tends to 0. We use perturbation theory for partial differential equations (PDEs) to obtain the asymptotic solutions of the optimal reinsurance and investment strategies. Finally, we provide numerical examples and sensitivity analyses to illustrate the effects of model parameters on the optimal reinsurance and investment strategies.
