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 Levy 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.

Uncertainty assessment for the evaluation of net present value: a mining industry perspective Erdem, Özge; Demirel, Nuray (2012-05-01) The investment decisionmaking process in the insurance and finance industries is affected by new advances such as simulation techniques. These advances have improved the discounted cash flow method (DCF). In DCF, a dynamic and flexible model construction is not possible because it does not consider uncertain conditions. Each project should be evaluated taking into account the related uncertainties because the related uncertainties determine the characterization of the project. Related uncertainties can be p...
Assessment of longevity risk: credibility approach Kestel, Ayşe Sevtap; Yıldırım Külekci, Bükre (2021-05-01) To correctly measure the effect of mortality rates on the stability of insurance and pension provider's financial risk, longevity risk should be considered. This paper aims to investigate the future mortality and longevity risk with different age structures for different countries. Lee–Carter mortality model is used on the historical census data to forecast future mortality rates. Turkey, Germany, and Japan are chosen concerning their expected life and population distributions. Then, the longevity risk on a...
Utilization of outlier-adjusted lee-carter model in mortality estimation on whole life annuities Yavrum, Cem; Selçuk Kestel, A. Sevtap.; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2019) Annuity and its pricing are very critical to the insurance companies for their financial liabilities. Companies aim to adjust the prices of annuity by choosing the forecasting model that fits best to their historical data. While doing it, there may be outliers in the historical data influencing the model. These outliers can be arisen from environmental conditions and extraordinary events such as weak health system, outbreak of war, occurrence of a contagious disease. These conditions and events impact morta...
Robust conditional value–at–risk under parallelpipe uncertainty: an application to portfolio optimization Kara, Güray; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) In markets with high uncertainties, the trade–off between maximizing expected return and minimizing the risk is one of the main challenges in modeling and decision making. Since investors mostly shape their invested amounts towards certain assets and their risk version level according to their returns; scientists and practitioners has done studies on this subject since the beginning of the stock markets’ establishment. Developments and inventions in the mathematical optimization provide a wide range of solu...
Stability advances in robust portfolio optimization under parallelepiped uncertainty Kara, Guray; Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2019-03-01) In financial markets with high uncertainties, the trade-off between maximizing expected return and minimizing the risk is one of the main challenges in modeling and decision making. Since investors mostly shape their invested amounts towards certain assets and their risk aversion level according to their returns, scientists and practitioners have done studies on that subject since the beginning of the stock markets' establishment. In this study, we model a Robust Optimization problem based on data. We found...
