Optimal Asset Allocation under Forward Exponential Performance Criteria
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents a novel concept in stochastic optimization, namely, the notion of forward performance. As an application, we analyze a portfolio management problem with exponential criteria. Under minimal model assumptions we explicitly construct the forward performance process and the associated optimal wealth and asset allocations. For various model parameters, we recover a range of investment policies that correspond to distinct financial applications.

Optimal asset allocation in a stochastic factor model - an overview and open problems
This paper provides an overview of the optimal investment problem in a market in which the dynamics of the risky security are a¤ected by a correlated stochastic factor. The performance of investment strategies is measured using two criteria. The rst criterion is the traditional one, formulated in terms of expected utility from terminal wealth while the second is based on the recently developed...
متن کاملInvestment performance measurement under asymptotically linear local risk tolerance∗
Using forward optimality criteria, we analyze a portfolio choice problem when the local risk tolerance is time-dependent and asymptotically linear in wealth. This class corresponds to a dynamic extension of the traditional (static) risk tolerances associated with the power, logarithmic and exponential utilities. We provide explicit solutions for the optimal investment strategies and wealth proc...
متن کاملOptimal Pension Asset Allocation Strategy for Defined-contribution Plans with Exponential Utility
This paper considers the asset allocation strategies for members of defined-contribution pension plans with exponential utility when there are three types of asset, cash, bonds and stocks. The portfolio problem is to maximize the expected utility of terminal wealth that uses the plan member’s final wage as a numeraire, in the presence of three risk sources, interest risk, asset risk and wage ri...
متن کاملForward Exponential Performances: Pricing and Optimal Risk Sharing
In a Markovian stochastic volatility model, we consider financial agents whose investment criteria are modelled by forward exponential performance processes. The problem of contingent claim indifference valuation is first addressed and a number of properties are proved and discussed. Special attention is given to the comparison between the forward exponential and the backward exponential utilit...
متن کاملMarket Timing with Option-Implied Distributions: A Forward-Looking Approach
We address the empirical implementation of the static asset allocation problem by developing a forward-looking approach that uses information from market option prices. To this end, constant maturity S&P 500 implied distributions are extracted and subsequently transformed to the corresponding risk-adjusted ones. Then, we form optimal portfolios consisting of a risky and a risk-free asset and ev...
