Optimal investment problem for an insurer with dependent risks under the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model

چکیده
In this paper, we consider the optimal investment problem for an insurer who has n dependent lines of business. The surplus process of the insurer is described by a n-dimensional compound Poisson risk process. Moreover, the insurer is allowed to invest in a risk-free asset and a risky asset whose price process follows the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. The investment objective is maximizing the expected utility of the insurer’s terminal wealth.Applying dynamic programming approach, we establish the corresponding HamiltonJacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Optimal investment strategy is obtained explicitly for exponential utility. Finally, we provide a numerical example to analyze the effects of parameters on the optimal strategy. Key–Words: Optimal investment, Dependent risks, Constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model, Utility maximization, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation

متن کاملA Note of Option Pricing for Constant Elasticity of Variance Model
We study the arbitrage free option pricing problem for constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. To treat the stochastic aspect of the CEV model, we direct attention to the relationship between the CEV model and squared Bessel processes. Then we show the existence of a unique equivalent martingale measure and derive the Cox’s arbitrage free option pricing formula through the properties of sq...
