摘要
We consider a collective insurance risk model with a compound Cox claim process, in which the evolution of a claim intensity is described by a stochastic differential equation driven by a Brownian motion. The insurer operates in a financial market consisting of a risk-free asset with a constant force of interest and a risky asset which price is driven by a Levy noise. We investigate two optimization problems. The first one is the classical mean-variance portfolio selection. In this case the efficient frontier is derived. The second optimization problem, except the mean-variance terminal objective, includes also a running cost penalizing deviations of the insurer's wealth from a specified profit-solvency target which is a random process. In order to find optimal strategies we apply techniques from the stochastic control theory.
