Optimal Insurance to Maximize Exponential Utility when Premium is Computed by a Convex Functional
We find the optimal indemnity to maximize the expected utility of terminal wealth of a buyer of insurance whose preferences are modeled by an exponential utility. The insurance premium is computed by a convex functional. We obtain a necessary condition for the optimal indemnity; then, because the candidate optimal indemnity is given implicitly, we use that necessary condition to develop a numerical algorithm to compute it. We prove that the numerical algorithm converges to a unique indemnity that, indeed, equals the optimal policy. We also illustrate our results with numerical examples.
