Portfolio Optimization with Stochastic Volatilities and Constraints: An Application in High Dimension

In this paper we are interested in an investment problem with stochastic volatilities and portfolio constraints on amounts. We model the risky assets by jump diffusion processes and we consider an exponential utility function. The objective is to maximize the expected utility from the investor terminal wealth. The value function is known to be a viscosity solution of an integro-differential Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB in short) equation which could not be solved when the risky assets number exceeds three. Thanks to an exponential transformation, we reduce the nonlinearity of the HJB equation to a semilinear equation. We prove the existence of a smooth solution to the latter equation and we state a verification theorem which relates this solution to the value function. We present an example that shows the importance of this reduction for numerical study of the optimal portfolio. We then compute the optimal strategy of investment by solving the associated optimization problem.     

OPTIMAL CONTROL OF MARKOVIAN SWITCHING SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS TO PORTFOLIO DECISIONS UNDER INFLATION

This article is concerned with a class of control systems with Markovian switching,in which an ltd formula for Markov-modulated processes is derived.Moreover,an optimal control law satisfying the generalized Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman(HJB) equation with Markovian switching is characterized.Then,through the generalized HJB equation,we study an optimal consumption and portfolio problem with the financial markets of Markovian switching and inflation.Thus,we deduce the optimal policies and show that a modified Mutual Fund Theorem consisting of three funds holds.Finally,for the CRRA utility function,we explicitly give the optimal consumption and portfolio policies.Numerical examples are included to illustrate the obtained results.     

Optimal consumption–investment strategy under the Vasicek model: HARA utility and Legendre transform

This paper studies the optimal consumption–investment strategy with multiple risky assets and stochastic interest rates, in which interest rate is supposed to be driven by the Vasicek model. The objective of the individuals is to seek an optimal consumption–investment strategy to maximize the expected discount utility of intermediate consumption and terminal wealth in the finite horizon. In the utility theory, Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion (HARA) utility consists of CRRA utility, CARA utility and Logarithmic utility as special cases. In addition, HARA utility is seldom studied in continuous-time portfolio selection theory due to its sophisticated expression. In this paper, we choose HARA utility as the risky preference of the individuals. Due to the complexity of the structure of the solution to the original Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation, we use Legendre transform to change the original non-linear HJB equation into its linear dual one, whose solution is easy to conjecture in the case of HARA utility. By calculations and deductions, we obtain the closed-form solution to the optimal consumption–investment strategy in a complete market. Moreover, some special cases are also discussed in detail. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate our results.     

Optimal Consumption and Portfolio with Ambiguity to Markovian Switching

This paper considers the problem of maximizing expected utility from consumption and terminal wealth under model uncertainty for a general semimartingale market, where the agent with an initial capital and a random endowment can invest. To find a solution to the investment problem we use the martingale method. We first prove that under appropriate assumptions a unique solution to the investment problem exists. Then we deduce that the value functions of primal problem and dual problem are convex conjugate functions. Furthermore we consider a diffusion-jump-model where the coefficients depend on the state of a Markov chain and the investor is ambiguity to the intensity of the underlying Poisson process. Finally, for an agent with the logarithmic utility function, we use the stochastic control method to derive the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellmann (HJB) equation. And the solution to this HJB equation can be determined numerically. We also show how thereby the optimal investment strategy can be computed.

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.     

Theoretical solution versus industry standard: Optimal leverage function for CPDOs

In this paper, we derive an optimal leverage function for Constant Proportion Debt Obligations (CPDOs) by using stochastic control techniques. The investor’s goal is to maximise redemption of capital at maturity. The control variable of the problem is the leverage process, i.e. the time dependent notional exposure to the underlying risky index/portfolio. The control problem is solved explicitly with the help of the Legendre transform applied to the HJB equation of stochastic control. A closed form solution is given for the optimal leverage. Contrary to the industry practise, the optimal leverage derived in this paper is a non-linear, bell-shaped function of the CPDO assets value.     

Robust Optimal Investment Problem with Delay under Heston’s Model

This paper considers a robust optimal portfolio problem under Heston model in which the risky asset price is related to the historical performance. The finance market includes a riskless asset and a risky asset whose price is controlled by a stochastic delay equation. The objective is to choose the investment strategy to maximize the minimal expected utility of terminal wealth. By employing dynamic programming principle and Hamilton-Jacobin-Bellman (HJB) equation, we obtain the specific expression of the optimal control and the explicit solution of the corresponding HJB equation. Besides, a verification theorem is provided to ensure the value function is indeed the solution of the HJB equation. Finally, we use numerical examples to illustrate the relationship between the optimal strategy and parameters.
