Dynamic Asset Allocation Under Inflation

Dynamic asset allocation techniques

Investment strategy is often static, punctuated by infrequent reviews. For most long-term investors, this practice results in large risks being taken that could otherwise be managed with a more dynamic investment policy. The bulk of this paper is aimed at analysing and describing two multi-period investment strategy problems – in order to derive potential dynamic strategies. Along the way, we s...

Dynamic asset allocation under VaR constraint with stochastic interest rates

This paper addresses the problem of dynamic asset allocation under a bounded shortfall risk in a market composed of three assets: cash, stocks and a zero coupon bond. The dynamics of the instantaneous short rates is driven by a Hull and White model. In this setting, we determine and compare optimal investment strategies maximizing the CRRA utility of terminal wealth with and without value at ri...

Dynamic Asset Allocation under Stochastic Volatility - Theory and Practice

This study develops inter-temporal dynamic asset allocation with stochastic volatility (DAASV) models. The DAASV models integrate the stochastic volatility feature inherent in asset returns into the allocation procedure. By applying the DAASV, an investor can more efficiently diversify the unsystematic risks, so as to achieve better performance. We demonstrate that the DAASV models dominate the...

Risk Sensitive Dynamic Asset Allocation

This paper develops a continuous time portfolio optimization model where the mean returns of individual securities or asset categories are explicitly affected by underlying economic factors such as dividend yields, a firm's ROE, interest rates, and unemployment rates. The factors are Gaussian processes, and the drift coefficients for the securities are aEne hnctions of these factors. We employ ...
