Optimal Time-Consistent Investment and Reinsurance Strategies with Default Risk and Delay under Heston’s SV Model

Considering the influence of past information on the decision-making of insurers, the correlation between the insurance businesses owned by insurers, and the possible default faced by insurers, we investigate the mean-variance investment and reinsurance problem with the default risk, delay, and common shock dependence. We characterize the insurance market by two-dimensional dependent claims, the financial market by the Heston SV model, and default risk by reduced-form approach and then obtain the evolution equation of the insurer’s wealth. Based on the introduction of time delay, the insurer’s wealth dynamics characterized by a stochastic delay differential equation are obtained. Furthermore, applying stochastic control theory within the game-theoretic framework and stochastic control theory with delay, we derive optimal time-consistent investment and reinsurance strategies, as well as equilibrium value function and equilibrium efficient frontier. Finally, we use a numerical example to analyze the influence of parameters on the time-consistent equilibrium strategies and give an economic explanation
