Abstract

This paper considers an optimal investment and reinsurance problem involving a defaultable security for an insurer under the mean-variance criterion in a jump-diffusion risk model. The insurer can purchase proportional reinsurance or acquire new insurance business and invest in a financial market consisting of a risk-free asset, a stock and a defaultable bond. In particular, the correlation between the insurance risk model and the financial market is also considered. From a game theoretic perspective, the extended Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman systems of equations are established for the post-default case and the pre-default case, respectively. In both cases, closed-form expressions for the optimal time-consistent investment-reinsurance strategies and the corresponding value functions are derived. Moreover, some properties of optimal strategies, value functions and efficient frontiers are discussed either analytically or numerically.
