Abstract

In this paper, we consider an optimal time-consistent reinsurance-investment problem incorporating a defaultable security for a mean–variance insurer under a constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. In our model, the insurer’s surplus process is described by a jump-diffusion risk model, the insurer can purchase proportional reinsurance and invest in a financial market consisting of a risk-free asset, a defaultable bond and a risky asset whose price process is assumed to follow a CEV model. Using a game theoretic approach, we establish the extended Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman system for the post-default case and the pre-default case, respectively. Furthermore, we obtain the closed-from expressions for the time-consistent reinsurance-investment strategy and the corresponding value function in both cases. Finally, we provide numerical examples to illustrate the impacts of model parameters on the optimal time-consistent strategy.
