Optimal proportional reinsurance under two criteria: maximizing the expected utility and minimizing the value at risk. (English) Zbl 1211.91150

Summary: We consider the optimal proportional reinsurance from an insurer’s point of view to maximize the expected utility and minimize the value at risk. Under the general premium principle, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the optimal strategies and Pareto optimal solution, and give the relationship between the optimal strategies. Furthermore, we study the optimization problem with the variance premium principle. When the total claim sizes are normally distributed, explicit expressions for the optimal strategies and Pareto optimal solution are obtained. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to show the impact of the major model parameters on the optimal results.
