Optimal pension fund management under multi-period risk minimization

In this paper, a multi-period stochastic optimization model for solving a problem of optimal selection of a pension fund by a pension plan member is presented. In our model, a member of the pension plan is given a possibility to switch periodically between m types of the funds with different risk profile and so actively manage her risk exposure and expected return. Minimization the multi-period risk measure under a return constraint leads to an efficient frontier. A theoretical framework and the solution for the case of the pension system of Slovak Republic is presented.
