Portfolio Size in Stochastic Portfolio Networks Using Digital Portfolio Theory
The investment portfolio with stochastic returns can be represented as a maximum flow generalized network with stochastic multipliers. Modern portfolio theory (MPT) [1] provides a myopic short horizon solution to this network by adding a parametric variance constraint to the maximize flow objective function. MPT does not allow the number of securities in solution portfolios to be specified. Int...
متن کاملA Stochastic Portfolio Optimization Model with Complete Memory
In this paper we consider a portfolio optimization problem of the Merton’s type with complete memory over a finite time horizon. The problem is formulated as a stochastic control problem on a finite time horizon and the state evolves according to a process governed by a stochastic process with memory. The goal is to choose investment and consumption controls such that the total expected discoun...
متن کاملLinear Programming and the Control of Diffusion Processes
Recent work by Han and Van Roy (2011) introduced a linear programming technique to compute good sub-optimal solutions to high-dimensional control problems in a diffusion-based setting. Their problem formulation worked with finite horizon problems where the horizon, T , is an exponentially-distributed random variable. We extend their approach to finite horizon problems with a fixed horizon T . W...
متن کاملOptimal Pension Asset Allocation Strategy when Terminal Utility is a Function of Replacement Ratio
This paper considers the optimal asset allocation problem for defined-contribution pension plan members whose terminal utility is a function of replacement ratio, i.e. the pension-to-final wage ratio. When three asset types are available for investment, the optimal portfolio composition, which is horizon dependent, includes investment in both riskless and risky assets. The investment in risky a...
متن کاملOptimal control of option portfolios and applications
We present an expected utility maximisation framework for optimally controlling a portfolio of options. By combining the replication approach to option pricing with ideas of the martingale approach to (stock) portfolio optimisation we arrive at an explicit solution of the option portfolio problem. Its characteristics are illustrated by some speciic examples. As an application, we calculate an o...
