Abstract

An insurance-package is a combination being tie-in at least two different categories of insurances with different underwriting-yield-rate. In this paper, the optimal insurance-package and investment problem is investigated by maximizing the insurer’s exponential utility of terminal wealth to find the optimal combination-share and investment strategy. Using the methods of stochastic analysis and stochastic optimal control, the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations are established, the optimal strategy and the value function are obtained in closed form. By comparing with classical results, it shows that the insurance-package can enhance the utility of terminal wealth, meanwhile, reduce the insurer’s claim risk.
