In this work we determine the optimal asset allocation of pure endowments insurance contracts, maximizing the expected utility of a terminal surplus under a budget constraint. The market resulting from the combination of insurance and financial products, is incomplete owing to the unhedgeable mortality of the insured population, modelled by a Poisson process. For a given equivalent measure, the optimal wealth process is obtained by the method of Lagrange multipliers and the investment strategy replicating at best this process is obtained either by martingale decomposition or either by dynamic programming. Next, we illustrate this method for CARA and CRRA utility functions.
