Portfolio optimization in a defaultable market under incomplete information
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of maximization of expected utility from terminal wealth in a market model that is driven by a possibly not fully observable factor process and that takes explicitly into account the possibility of default for the individual assets as well as contagion (direct and information induced) among them. It is a multinomial model in discrete time that allows for an explicit solution. We discuss the solution within our defaultable and partial information setup, in particular we study its robustness. Numerical results are derived in the case of a log-utility function and they can be analogously obtained for a power utility function.

Robustness-based portfolio optimization under epistemic uncertainty
In this paper, we propose formulations and algorithms for robust portfolio optimization under both aleatory uncertainty (i.e., natural variability) and epistemic uncertainty (i.e., imprecise probabilistic information) arising from interval data. Epistemic uncertainty is represented using two approaches: (1) moment bounding approach and (2) likelihood-based approach. This paper first proposes a ...
متن کاملDynamic Portfolio Optimization with a Defaultable Security and Regime Switching
We consider a portfolio optimization problem in a defaultable market with finitely-many economical regimes, where the investor can dynamically allocate her wealth among a defaultable bond, a stock, and a money market account. The market coefficients are assumed to depend on the market regime in place, which is modeled by a finite state continuous time Markov process. By separating the utility m...
متن کاملQuantile Hedging for Defaultable Securities in an Incomplete Market - Proceedings ASTIN/AFIR 1999 - Tokyo, Japan
In this paper, we aim at 1. giving formulas of prices and replicating-strategies of defaultable securities(e.g., bonds, swaps, derivatives) in incomplete market, and 2. giving “solvable” examples of quantile hedging strategies in incomplete market. Considering an incomplete market that consists of tradable assets and an unhedgeable defaultable security, whose non-predictable default time has st...
متن کاملRobust Portfolio Optimization with risk measure CVAR under MGH distribution in DEA models
Financial returns exhibit stylized facts such as leptokurtosis, skewness and heavy-tailness. Regarding this behavior, in this paper, we apply multivariate generalized hyperbolic (mGH) distribution for portfolio modeling and performance evaluation, using conditional value at risk (CVaR) as a risk measure and allocating best weights for portfolio selection. Moreover, a robust portfolio optimizati...
متن کاملStress-testing Model of Defaultable Bond Values Banking Policy Department
This paper develops a stress-testing model to value defaultable bonds under stressful market conditions. Default occurs when some signaling process hits a pre-defined default barrier. The signaling variable is considered to be some macro-economic variables such as foreign exchange rates. The dynamics of the default barrier depends on the volatility and the drift of the signaling variable. We de...
