Numerical approximations of optimal portfolios in mispriced asymmetric Lévy markets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present numerical approximations of optimal portfolios in mispriced Lévy markets under asymmetric information for informed and uninformed investors having logarithmic preference. We apply our numerical scheme to Kou (2002) jump-diffusion markets by deriving analytic formulas for the first two derivatives of the underlying portfolio objective function which depend only on the Lévy measure of the jump-generating process. Optimal portfolios are then simulated using the Box–Muller algorithm, Newton’s method and incomplete Beta functions. Convergence dynamics and trajectories of sample paths of optimal portfolios for both investors are presented at different levels of information asymmetry, mispricing, horizon, asymmetry in the Kou density, jump intensity, volatility, mean-reversion speed, and Sharpe ratios. We also apply the proposed Newton’s algorithm to compute optimal portfolios for investors in Variance Gamma markets via instantaneous centralized moments of returns. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

A note on log–optimal portfolios in exponential Lévy markets
In this note we revisit Merton’s optimal portfolio selection problem within an exponential Lévy market, for an agent acting with a canonical utility function, the logarithm. From the explicit construction of solutions, we observe features which arise related to shortselling and borrowing, not noted in earlier treatments by [12],[7],[10].
متن کاملEstimation of Value at Risk (VaR) Based On Lévy-GARCH Models: Evidence from Tehran Stock Exchange
This paper aims to estimate the Value-at-Risk (VaR) using GARCH type models with improved return distribution. Value at Risk (VaR) is an essential benchmark for measuring the risk of financial markets quantitatively. The parametric method, historical simulation, and Monte Carlo simulation have been proposed in several financial mathematics and engineering studies to calculate VaR, that each of ...
متن کاملModel Error
Modern finance would not have been possible without models. Increasingly complex quantitative models drive financial innovation and the growth of derivatives markets. Models are necessary to value financial instruments and to measure the risks of individual positions and portfolios. Yet when used inappropriately, the models themselves can become an important source of risk. Recently, several we...
متن کاملA discontinuous mispricing model under asymmetric information
We study a discontinuous mispricing model of a risky asset under asymmetric information where jumps in the asset price and mispricing are modelled by Lévy processes. By contracting the filtration of the informed investor, we obtain optimal portfolios and maximum expected utilities for the informed and uninformed investors. We also discuss their asymptotic properties, which can be estimated usin...
متن کاملAn Anticipative Stochastic Calculus Approach to Pricing in Markets Driven by Lévy Process
We use the Itô-Ventzell formula for forward integrals and Malliavin calculus to study the stochastic control problem associated to utility indifference pricing in a market driven by Lévy processes. This approach allows us to consider general possibly non-Markovian systems, general utility functions and possibly partial information based portfolios. In the special case of the exponential utility...
