Risk Management 2014-03-10 v2 Portfolio Management

Abstract

Motivated by the AIG bailout case in the financial crisis of 2007-2008, we consider an insurer who wants to maximize the expected utility of the terminal wealth by selecting optimal investment and risk control strategies. The insurer's risk process is modelled by a jump-diffusion process and is negatively correlated with the capital gains in the financial market. We obtain explicit solution to optimal strategies for various utility functions.
