Abstract: In this paper, we build an optimal control model with the objective to maximize the expected value of the time discount utility by selecting optimal investment, liability and dividend strategies for insurance companies. We then use the techniques from Merton (J Econ Theory 3(4):373–413, 1971) to solve our optimal control problem and deduce the optimal control solutions. Finally, we analyze the economic impacts on the optimal controls of the parameters in insurance market.

Key words: Asset and liability management, Optimal dividends, HJB equation
