Optimal Portfolio Allocation of Commodity Related Assets in Illiquid Markets and a Forward-backward Algorithm to Solve the Stochastic Control Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
In the first part of the talk, an algorithm for solving continuous‐time stochastic optimal control problems is presented. The numerical scheme is based on the stochastic maximum principle (SMP) as an alternative to the widely studied dynamic programming principle (DPP). We show possible performance advantages of the algorithm in the case of feedback control. In the second part, an investment‐consumption problem with convex transaction costs and optional stochastic returns is presented. The model is a simplified approach for the investment in a portfolio of real options. We show numerical results that, on one hand, are consistent with the well‐known investment‐consumption theory. On the other hand, the investment strategy may seem counter intuitive. Tuesday, December 11, 2012 Sherrerd Hall 101 4:30 PM

Optimal Portfolio Allocation based on two Novel Risk Measures and Genetic Algorithm
The problem of optimal portfolio selection has attracted a great attention in the finance and optimization field. The future stock price should be predicted in an acceptable precision, and a suitable model and criterion for risk and the expected return of the stock portfolio should be proposed in order to solve the optimization problem. In this paper, two new criterions for the risk of stock pr...
متن کاملInsurer Optimal Asset Allocation in a Small and Closed Economy: The Case of Iran’s Social Security Organization
We seek to determine the optimal amount of the insurer’s investment in all types of assets for a small and closed economy. The goal is to detect the implications and contributions the risk seeker and risk aversion insurer commonly make and the effectiveness in the investment decision. Also, finding the optimum portfolio for each is the main goal of the present study. To this end, we adopted the...
متن کاملA Robust Knapsack Based Constrained Portfolio Optimization
Many portfolio optimization problems deal with allocation of assets which carry a relatively high market price. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the integer value of assets when we deal with portfolio optimization. In addition, one of the main concerns with most portfolio optimization is associated with the type of constraints considered in different models. In many cases, the resulted p...
متن کاملUsing Genetic Algorithm in Solving Stochastic Programming for Multi-Objective Portfolio Selection in Tehran Stock Exchange
Investor decision making has always been affected by two factors: risk and returns. Considering risk, the investor expects an acceptable return on the investment decision horizon. Accordingly, defining goals and constraints for each investor can have unique prioritization. This paper develops several approaches to multi criteria portfolio optimization. The maximization of stock returns, the pow...
متن کاملMulti-period project portfolio selection under risk considerations and stochastic income
This paper deals with multi-period project portfolio selection problem. In this problem, the available budget is invested on the best portfolio of projects in each period such that the net profit is maximized. We also consider more realistic assumptions to cover wider range of applications than those reported in previous studies. A novel mathematical model is presented to solve the problem, con...
