What is Mean-Variance Optimization for Participating Life Insurance Contracts about?

This paper studies the equity holders' mean-variance optimal portfolio choice problem for (non-)protected participating life insurance contracts. We derive explicit formulas for the optimal terminal wealth and the optimal strategy in the multi-dimensional Black-Scholes model, showing the existence of all necessary parameters. In incomplete markets, we state Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations for the value function. Moreover, we provide a numerical analysis of the Black-Scholes market. The equity holders on average increase their investment into the risky asset in bad economic states and decrease their investment over time.
