部分信息下含债务的马氏调制收益率的最优投资组合问题

带有确定性参数的金融模型只能描述较短的时间内的状态演化,不能反映市场条件的变化.在投资过程中,投资者一般仅能够观察到资产的价格,不能直接观察到资产的平均收益率和波动率.考虑一个简化的连续时间的金融市场,这个市场带有无风险资产(债券)和风险资产(股票)两种资产.在债务为线性扩散模型下,利用Wonham滤波理论估计股票的平均收益率,研究了使得指数期望效用最大的最优投资组合选择问题.利用随机线性二次控制方法,得到最优投资组合策略和最大期望指数效用的显示解.

本文研究了Ornstein-Uhlenbeck模型下确定缴费型养老金计划(简称DC计划)的最优投资策略,其中以最大化DC计划参与者终端财富(退休时其账户金额)的CRRA效用为目标.假定投资者可投资于无风险资产和一种风险资产,风险资产的瞬时收益率由Ornstein-Uhlenbeck过程驱动,该过程能反映市场所处的状态.利用随机控制理论,给出了相应的HJB方程与验证定理;并通过求解相应的HJB方程,得到了最优投资策略和最优值函数的解析式.最后分析了瞬时收益率对最优投资策略的影响,发现当市场向良性状态发展时,投资在风险资产上的财富比例呈上升趋势;当初始财富足够大且市场状态不变时,投资在风险资产上的财富比例几乎不受时间的影响.

以目标收益养老金计划(TBP)模型研究鲁棒最优投资问题, 其中养老金管理者对模型参数不确定带来的风险是模糊风险厌恶的. 养老金管理者为规避风险和增加收益将投资于无风险资产和风险资产. 考虑连续时间情形, 假设养老金计划参保人的缴费是确定的, 而参保人的收益给付是确定目标收益给付, 资金账户的收益风险由不同代际的参保人共同承担, 同时考虑随机工资及其与金融市场的相关性. 以参保人退休后养老金给付偏离目标的风险和代际之间风险分担的组合最小化为投资决策目标, 并采用指数函数的形式描述实际给付与目标给付的偏离, 利用随机最优控制方法, 建立相应的HJB方程并求解得到最优投资收益策略和最优给付策略的解析解. 通过数值示例分析了模型参数对最优投资和最优给付策略的影响.     

基于Heston随机波动率模型和风险偏好视角的资产负债管理

本文研究基于Heston随机波动率模型的资产负债管理问题。假设金融市场由一个无风险资产和一个风险资产构成,投资者的目标是最大化其终端财富的期望效用。应用随机控制方法,得到了该问题最优资产配置策略的解析表达式和相应值函数的解析解,通过数值算例分析了Heston模型主要参数以及债务对最优资产配置策略的影响。结果表明:配置到风险资产的比例对Heston模型中的参数非常敏感;为了对冲债务风险,负债的引入使得配置到风险资产的比例比无负债情形下的高;在风险厌恶系数变大时,无论投资者是否有负债,其投资到风险资产的比例则越来越低。

Static portfolio choice under Cumulative Prospect Theory

We derive the optimal portfolio choice for an investor who behaves according to Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT). The study is done in a one-period economy with one risk-free asset and one risky asset, and the reference point corresponds to the terminal wealth arising when the entire initial wealth is invested into the risk-free asset. When it exists, the optimal holding is a function of a generalized Omega measure of the distribution of the excess return on the risky asset over the risk-free rate. It conceptually resembles Merton’s optimal holding for a CRRA expected-utility maximizer. We derive some properties of the optimal holding and illustrate our results using a simple example where the excess return has a skew-normal distribution. In particular, we show how a CPT investor is highly sensitive to the skewness of the excess return on the risky asset. In the model we adopt, with a piecewise-power value function with different shape parameters, loss aversion might be violated for reasons that are now well-understood in the literature. Nevertheless, we argue that this violation is acceptable.     

Multi‐period mean variance portfolio selection under incomplete information

This paper solves an optimal portfolio selection problem in the discrete‐time setting where the states of the financial market cannot be completely observed, which breaks the common assumption that the states of the financial market are fully observable. The dynamics of the unobservable market state is formulated by a hidden Markov chain, and the return of the risky asset is modulated by the unobservable market state. Based on the observed information up to the decision moment, an investor wants to find the optimal multi‐period investment strategy to maximize the mean‐variance utility of the terminal wealth. By adopting a sufficient statistic, the portfolio optimization problem with incompletely observable information is converted into the one with completely observable information. The optimal investment strategy is derived by using the dynamic programming approach and the embedding technique, and the efficient frontier is also presented. Compared with the case when the market state can be completely observed, we find that the unobservable market state does decrease the investment value on the risky asset in average. Finally, numerical results illustrate the impact of the unobservable market state on the efficient frontier, the optimal investment strategy and the Sharpe ratio.

An optimal investment and consumption model with stochastic returns

We consider a financial market consisting of a risky asset and a riskless one, with a constant or random investment horizon. The interest rate from the riskless asset is constant, but the relative return rate from the risky asset is stochastic with an unknown parameter in its distribution. Following the Bayesian approach, the optimal investment and consumption problem is formulated as a Markov decision process. We incorporate the concept of risk aversion into the model and characterize the optimal strategies for both the power and logarithmic utility functions with a constant relative risk aversion (CRRA). Numerical examples are provided that support the intuition that a higher proportion of investment should be allocated to the risky asset if the mean return rate on the risky asset is higher or the risky asset return rate is less volatile.

Portfolio selection in discrete time with transaction costs and power utility function: a perturbation analysis

In this article, we study a multi-period portfolio selection model in which a generic class of probability distributions is assumed for the returns of the risky asset. An investor with a power utility function rebalances a portfolio comprising a risk-free and risky asset at the beginning of each time period in order to maximize expected utility of terminal wealth. Trading the risky asset incurs a cost that is proportional to the value of the transaction. At each time period, the optimal investment strategy involves buying or selling the risky asset to reach the boundaries of a certain no-transaction region. In the limit of small transaction costs, dynamic programming and perturbation analysis are applied to obtain explicit approximations to the optimal boundaries and optimal value function of the portfolio at each stage of a multi-period investment process of any length.     

Optimal investment strategy for asset-liability management under the Heston model

ABSTRACT

This paper focuses on an asset-liability management problem for an investor who can invest in a risk-free asset and a risky asset whose price process is governed by the Heston model. The objective of the investor is to find an optimal investment strategy to maximize the expected exponential utility of the surplus process. By using the stochastic control method and variable change techniques, we obtain a closed-form solution of the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. We also develop a verification theorem without the usual Lipschitz assumptions which can ensure that this closed-form solution is indeed the value function and then derive the optimal investment strategy explicitly. Finally, we provide numerical examples to show how the main parameters of the model affect the optimal investment strategy.

Optimal investment for the defined-contribution pension with stochastic salary under a CEV model

In this paper, we study the optimal investment strategy of defined-contribution pension with the stochastic salary. The investor is allowed to invest in a risk-free asset and a risky asset whose price process follows a constant elasticity of variance model. The stochastic salary follows a stochastic differential equation, whose instantaneous volatility changes with the risky asset price all the time. The HJB equation associated with the optimal investment problem is established, and the explicit solution of the corresponding optimization problem for the CARA utility function is obtained by applying power transform and variable change technique. Finally, we present a numerical analysis.
