基于Volterra Heston模型的最优投资和再保险问题

作为金融市场体系的重要组成部分,选择最优的投资和再保险策略对保险公司来说十分重要.本文研究了保险公司在均值-方差准则下的最优投资和再保险问题,假设保险公司通过购买比例再保险来分散自身风险,其盈余过程由近似经典Cramer-Lundberg模型的扩散过程刻画,此外,保险公司通过投资于无风险资产和风险资产来增加收入,其中风险资产价格服从Volterra Heston模型.由于Volterra Heston模型的非马尔可夫性和非半鞅性,经典的随机最优控制框架不再适用,本文通过构造一个辅助随机过程,得到了依赖于Riccati-Volterra方程解的最优投资和再保险策略及有效前沿,并对最优策略、有效前沿和波动率粗糙度、再保险因素之间的关系进行了数值分析,发现股票价格的波动率越粗糙,保险公司对股票市场和再保险的需求越大.

Open-loop equilibrium reinsurance-investment strategy under mean–variance criterion with stochastic volatility

This paper investigates the open-loop equilibrium reinsurance-investment (RI) strategy under general stochastic volatility (SV) models. We resolve difficulties arising from the unbounded volatility process and the non-negativity constraint on the reinsurance strategy. The resolution enables us to derive the existence and uniqueness result for the time-consistent mean variance RI policy under both situations of constant and state-dependent risk aversions. We apply the general framework to popular SV models including the Heston, the 3/2 and the Hull–White models. Closed-form solutions are obtained for the aforementioned models under constant risk aversion, and the non-leveraged models under state-dependent risk aversion.     

Portfolio selection problem with multiple risky assets under the constant elasticity of variance model

This paper focuses on the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model for studying the utility maximization portfolio selection problem with multiple risky assets and a risk-free asset. The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the portfolio optimization problem is established. By applying a power transform and a variable change technique, we derive the explicit solution for the constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) utility function when the elasticity coefficient is −1 or 0. In order to obtain a general optimal strategy for all values of the elasticity coefficient, we propose a model with two risky assets and one risk-free asset and solve it under a given assumption. Furthermore, we analyze the properties of the optimal strategies and discuss the effects of market parameters on the optimal strategies. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented to illustrate the similarities and differences between the results of the two models proposed in this paper.     

Optimal consumption and investment strategies with liquidity risk and lifetime uncertainty for Markov regime-switching jump diffusion models

In this paper, we consider the optimal consumption and investment strategies for households throughout their lifetime. Risks such as the illiquidity of assets, abrupt changes of market states, and lifetime uncertainty are considered. Taking the effects of heritage into account, investors are willing to limit their current consumption in exchange for greater wealth at their death, because they can take advantage of the higher expected returns of illiquid assets. Further, we model the liquidity risks in an illiquid market state by introducing frozen periods with uncertain lengths, during which investors cannot continuously rebalance their portfolios between different types of assets. In liquid market, investors can continuously remix their investment portfolios. In addition, a Markov regime-switching process is introduced to describe the changes in the market’s states. Jumps, classified as either moderate or severe, are jointly investigated with liquidity risks. Explicit forms of the optimal consumption and investment strategies are developed using the dynamic programming principle. Markov chain approximation methods are adopted to obtain the value function. Numerical examples demonstrate that the liquidity of assets and market states have significant effects on optimal consumption and investment strategies in various scenarios.

动态输入率和服务率设定下的M/M/c模型扩展及其应用

为了解决M/M/c模型中恒定输入率和服务率假设与现实现象不符的问题,本文提出了随系统状态变化的输入概率和服务度,并通过新输入概率与平均输入率以及新服务度与平均服务率的结合分别构造了动态输入率和服务率。基于上述动态输入率和动态服务率,建立了依赖系统当前状态的状态转移过程,从状态转换强度方面优化了排队理论及其度量模型,同时,设计了结合系统实际的后确定法求解动态输入率与服务率的相关参数,从而构建了扩展M/M/c模型。由于输入率和服务率的动态性,扩展M/M/c模型具有比原排队论模型更广的适用范围和精度更高的模拟结果。最后,通过一个生活实例对新模型的有效性和实用性进行验证。     

Multi-period minimax hedging strategies

Option pricing and hedging under transaction costs are of major importance to marketmakers and investors. In this paper we present the basic minimax strategy which determines the optimum number of shares that minimizes the worst-case potential hedging error under transaction costs for the next period. We present two extensions of this strategy. The first extension is the two-period minimax where the worst case is defined over a two-period setting. The objective function of the basic minimax strategy is augmented to include the hedging error for the second period. The second extension is the variable minimax strategy where early rebalancing is triggered by the minimax hedging error. Simulation results suggest that the basic minimax strategy and its two extensions are superior in performance to delta hedging and that the variable minimax strategy is superior to both the basic and the two-period strategies. This result is due to the opportunity provided by the variable minimax strategy to rebalance early. The greatest amount of business for traded options is done for at-the-money options; in this paper, we have concluded that the minimax strategies are particularly suitable for managing the risk of such options. In the Appendix, we present the minimax algorithm used for the implementation of these strategies.     

Exponential Bounds for Ruin Probability in Two Moving Average Risk Models with Constant Interest Rate

The authors consider two discrete-time insurance risk models. Two moving average risk models are introduced to model the surplus process, and the probabilities of ruin are examined in models with a constant interest force. Exponential bounds for ruin probabilities of an infinite time horizon are derived by the martingale method.     

HARVESTING PROCEDURES WITH MANAGEMENT POLICY IN ITERATIVE DENSITY-DEPENDENT POPULATION MODELS

This paper analyzes harvesting in simple one species iterative density-dependent population models. Several harvest management policies are considered, including a constant effort policy, an on-off constant harvest policy, and several policies that include protective strategies. Results for quadratic, Ricker, and Beverton-Holt growth functions are contrasted. It is found that even for the Beverton-Holt case, there are parameter regions where periodic or chaotic behavior can occur under certain harvest policies. In fact, regions of stability and irregularity can alternate.
