Optimal portfolio choice and stochastic volatility

In this paper we examine the effect of stochastic volatility on optimal portfolio choice in both partial and general equilibrium settings. In a partial equilibrium setting we derive an analog of the classic Samuelson–Merton optimal portfolio result and define volatility‐adjusted risk aversion as the effective risk aversion of an individual investing in an asset with stochastic volatility. We extend prior research which shows that effective risk aversion is greater with stochastic volatility than without for investors without wealth effects by providing further comparative static results on changes in effective risk aversion due to changes in the distribution of volatility. We demonstrate that effective risk aversion is increasing in the constant absolute risk aversion and the variance of the volatility distribution for investors without wealth effects. We further show that for these investors a first‐order stochastic dominant shift in the volatility distribution does not necessarily increase effective risk aversion, whereas a second‐order stochastic dominant shift in the volatility does increase effective risk aversion. Finally, we examine the effect of stochastic volatility on equilibrium asset prices. We derive an explicit capital asset pricing relationship that illustrates how stochastic volatility alters equilibrium asset prices in a setting with multiple risky assets, where returns have a market factor and asset‐specific random components and multiple investor types.

Optimal portfolio‐consumption choice under stochastic inflation with nominal and indexed bonds

This research solves the intertemporal portfolio choice problems with and without interim consumption under stochastic inflation. We assume a one‐factor nominal interest rate and a one‐factor expected inflation rate, implying a two‐factor real interest rate in the economy. In contrast to other related research which adopts the one‐factor real interest rate model, the inflation‐indexed bond is not a redundant asset class even in a complete market. The infinitely risk‐averse investor would prefer to invest all her wealth in inflation‐indexed bonds maturing at the investment horizon. We also show that, with the two‐factor real interest rate model, the consumption‐wealth ratio is not determined by the real interest rate alone. The investor's consumption–wealth ratio is also affected by the nominal interest rate and expected inflation rate levels. The capital market is calibrated to U.S. stocks, bonds, and inflation data. The optimal weights show that aggressive investors hold more nominal bonds in order to earn the inflation risk premiums, while conservative investors concentrate on indexed bonds to hedge against the inflation risk.

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.     

Entropic risk measures and their comparative statics in portfolio selection: Coherence vs. convexity

We conduct a decision-theoretic analysis of optimal portfolio choices and, in particular, their comparative statics under two types of entropic risk measures, the coherent entropic risk measure (CERM) and the convex entropic risk measure (ERM). Starting with the portfolio selection between a risky and a risk free asset (framework of Arrow (1965) and Pratt (1964)), we find a restrictive all-or-nothing investment decision under the CERM, while the ERM yields diversification. We then address a portfolio problem with two risky assets, and provide comparative statics with respect to the investor’s risk aversion (framework of Ross (1981)). Here, both the CERM and the ERM exhibit closely interrelated inconsistencies with respect to the interpretation of their risk parameters as a measure of risk aversion: for any two investors with different risk parameters, it may happen that the investor with the higher risk parameter invests more in the riskier one of the two assets. Finally, we analyze the portfolio problem “risky vs. risk free” in the presence of an independent background risk, and analyze the effect of changes in this background risk (framework of Gollier and Pratt (1996)). Again, we find questionable predictions: under the CERM, the optimal risky investment is always increasing instead of decreasing when a background risk is introduced, while under the ERM it remains unaffected.     

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.
