Maximum Principle for a Stochastic Optimal Control Problem and Application to Portfolio/Consumption Choice

We consider mainly an optimal control problem motivated by a portfolio and consumption choice problem in a financial market where the utility of the investor is assumed to have a given homogeneous form. A Pontryagin local maximum principle is obtained by using classical variational methods. We apply the result to make optimal portfolio and consumption decisions for the problem under consideration. The optimal selection coincides with the one obtained in Refs. 1 and 2, where the Bellman dynamic programming principle was used.     

Scale-invariant asset pricing and consumption/portfolio choice with general attitudes toward risk and uncertainty

Motivated by notions of aversion to Knightian uncertainty, this paper develops the theory of competitive asset pricing and consumption/portfolio choice with homothetic recursive preferences that allow essentially any homothetic uncertainty averse certainty-equivalent form. The market structure is scale invariant but otherwise general, allowing any trading constraints that scale with wealth. Technicalities are minimized by assuming a finite information tree. Pricing restrictions in terms of consumption growth and market returns are derived and a simple recursive method for solving the corresponding optimal consumption/portfolio choice problem is established.     

Maximum Principle for Risk-Sensitive Stochastic Optimal Control Problem and Applications to Finance

This article is concerned with a risk-sensitive stochastic optimal control problem motivated by a kind of optimal portfolio choice problem in the financial market. The maximum principle for this kind of problem is obtained, which is similar in form to its risk-neutral counterpart. But the adjoint equations and maximum condition heavily depend on the risk-sensitive parameter. This result is used to solve a kind of optimal portfolio choice problem and the optimal portfolio choice strategy is obtained. Computational results and figures explicitly illustrate the optimal solution and the sensitivity to the volatility rate parameter.     

Optimal retirement strategy with a negative wealth constraint

This paper investigates an optimal consumption, portfolio, and retirement time choice problem of an individual with a negative wealth constraint. We obtain analytical results of the optimal consumption, investment, and retirement behaviors and discuss the effect of the negative wealth constraint on the optimal behaviors. We find that, as an individual can borrow more with better credit, she is more likely to retire at a higher wealth level, to consume more, and to invest more in risky assets.     

Optimal investment and consumption decision of a family with life insurance

We study an optimal portfolio and consumption choice problem of a family that combines life insurance for parents who receive deterministic labor income until the fixed time T. We consider utility functions of parents and children separately and assume that parents have an uncertain lifetime. If parents die before time T, children have no labor income and they choose the optimal consumption and portfolio with remaining wealth and life insurance benefit. The object of the family is to maximize the weighted average of utility of parents and that of children. We obtain analytic solutions for the value function and the optimal policies, and then analyze how the changes of the weight of the parents’ utility function and other factors affect the optimal policies.     

Optimal portfolio and consumption selection with default risk

We investigate an optimal portfolio and consumption choice problem with a defaultable security. Under the goal of maximizing the expected discounted utility of the average past consumption, a dynamic programming principle is applied to derive a pair of second-order parabolic Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations with gradient constraints. We explore these HJB equations by a viscosity solution approach and characterize the post-default and pre-default value functions as a unique pair of constrained viscosity solutions to the HJB equations.     

Dynamic consumption and portfolio choice under prospect theory

This paper explicitly derives the optimal dynamic consumption and portfolio choice of an individual with prospect theory preferences. The individual is loss averse, endogenously updates his reference level over time, and distorts probabilities. We show that the optimal consumption strategy is rather insensitive to economic shocks. In particular, in case the individual sufficiently overweights unlikely unfavorable events, our model generates an endogenous floor on consumption. As a result, an individual with prospect theory preferences typically implements a (very) conservative portfolio strategy. We discuss implications of our results for the design of investment-linked annuity products.
