Abstract
In this paper, we study a robust optimal reinsurance–investment problem for a general insurance company which holds shares of an insurance company and a reinsurance company. Assume that the claim process described by a Brownian motion with drift, the insurer can purchase proportional reinsurance, and both the insurer and the reinsurer can invest in a risk-free asset and a risky asset. Besides, the general insurance company’s manager is an ambiguity-averse manager (AAM) who worries about model uncertainty in model parameters. The AAM’s objective is to maximize the minimal expected product of the insurer’s and the reinsurer’s exponential utilities . By using techniques of stochastic control theory, we first derive the closed-form expressions of the optimal strategies and the corresponding value function, and then the verification theorem is given. Finally, we present numerical examples to illustrate the effects of model parameters on the optimal investment and reinsurance strategies, and analyze the utility losses from ignoring product utilities.
