We study the optimal proportional reinsurance and investment problem in a general jump-diffusion financial market. Assuming that the insurer’s surplus process follows a jump-diffusion process, the insurer can purchase proportional reinsurance from the reinsurer and invest in a risk-free asset and a risky asset, whose price is modelled by a general jump-diffusion process. The insurance company wishes to maximize the expected exponential utility of the terminal wealth. By using techniques of stochastic control theory, closed-form expressions for the value function and optimal strategy are obtained. A Monte Carlo simulation is conducted to illustrate that the closed-form expressions we derived are indeed the optimal strategies, and some numerical examples are presented to analyse the impact of model parameters on the optimal strategies.
