We employ perturbation analysis technique to study multi-asset portfolio optimisation with transaction cost. We allow for correlations in risky assets and obtain optimal trading methods for general utility functions. Our analytical results are supported by numerical simulations in the context of the Long Term Growth Mo…

The paper suggests using derivatives instead of stocks for better utility and risk management.

problem The use of stocks in portfolio construction is challenged.
method The study uses the Black--Scholes--Merton setting to demonstrate the benefits of derivatives for maximizing utility and minimizing risk.
result Two derivatives are sufficient to maximize utility and minimize risk exposure in a two-asset portfolio.

We consider the problem of optimal investment and consumption in a class of multidimensional jump-diffusion models in which asset prices are subject to mutually exciting jump processes. This captures a type of contagion where each downward jump in an asset's price results in increased likelihood of further jumps, both …

This paper considers mean-variance optimization under uncertainty, specifically when one desires a sparsified set of optimal portfolio weights. From the standpoint of a Bayesian investor, our approach produces a small portfolio from many potential assets while acknowledging uncertainty in asset returns and parameter es…

The paper optimizes DIA purchase policies using lifecycle models and asset allocation.

problem Determining the optimal allocation to Deferred Income Annuities (DIAs).
method Employed a lifecycle model with utility of consumption and bequest, formalized optimization process, analyzed results, and extended model to include asset allocation.

Investigates consumption and investment strategies with preference for liquid assets.

problem Infinite horizon consumption-portfolio problem with liquid and illiquid risky assets.
method Analyzes properties of value function, categorizes solvency regions, and characterizes optimal policy.
result Liquidity preference leads to higher liquid wealth and lower consumption, potentially negative allocation to illiquid asset.

Modern portfolio theory(MPT) addresses the problem of determining the optimum allocation of investment resources among a set of candidate assets. In the original mean-variance approach of Markowitz, volatility is taken as a proxy for risk, conflating uncertainty with risk. There have been many subsequent attempts to al…

This paper formulates a model of utility for a continuous time framework that captures the decision-maker's concern with ambiguity about both volatility and drift. Corresponding extensions of some basic results in asset pricing theory are presented. First, we derive arbitrage-free pricing rules based on hedging argumen…

The comparative statics of the optimal portfolios across individuals is carried out for a continuous-time complete market model, where the risky assets price process follows a joint geometric Brownian motion with time-dependent and deterministic coefficients.

We propose a class of discrete-time stochastic models for the pricing of inflation-linked assets. The paper begins with an axiomatic scheme for asset pricing and interest rate theory in a discrete-time setting. The first axiom introduces a "risk-free" asset, and the second axiom determines the intertemporal pricing rel…
