Abstract :We investigate an insurer`s optimal investment and liability problem by maximizing the expected terminal wealth under different utility functions. The insurer`s aggregate claim payments are modeled by a Lévy risk process. We assume that the financial market consists of a riskless and a risky assets. It is also assumed that the insurer`s liability is negatively correlated with the return of the risky asset. The closed-form solution for the optimal investment and liability ratio is obtained using Pontryagin`s Maximum Principle. Moreover, the solutions of the optimal control problems are examined and compared to the findings where the jump sizes are assumed to be constant.
