In this paper, we discuss the problem of pricing discretely sampled variance swaps under a hybrid stochastic model. Our modeling framework is a combination with a double Heston stochastic volatility model and a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross stochastic interest rate process. Due to the application of the T-forward measure with the stochastic interest process, we can only obtain an efficient semi-closed form of pricing formula for variance swaps instead of a closed-form solution based on the derivation of characteristic functions. The practicality of this hybrid model is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

This paper studies the time-consistent optimal investment and reinsurance problem for mean-variance insurers when considering both stochastic interest rate and stochastic volatility in the financial market. The insurers are allowed to transfer insurance risk by proportional reinsurance or acquiring new business, and the jump-diffusion process models the surplus process. The financial market consists of a risk-free asset, a bond, and a stock modelled by Heston’s stochastic volatility model. Interest rate in the market is modelled by the Vasicek model. By using extended dynamic programming approach, we explicitly derive equilibrium reinsurance-investment strategies and value functions. In addition, we provide and prove a verification theorem and then prove the solution we get satisfies it. Moreover, sensitive analysis is given to show the impact of several model parameters on equilibrium strategy and the efficient frontier.
