Comparison of Mean Variance Like Strategies for Optimal Asset Allocation Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
We determine the optimal dynamic investment policy for a mean quadratic variation objective function by numerical solution of a nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) partial differential equation (PDE). We compare the efficient frontiers and optimal investment policies for three mean variance like strategies: pre-commitment mean variance, time-consistent mean variance, and mean quadratic variation, assuming realistic investment constraints (e.g. no bankruptcy, finite shorting, borrowing). When the investment policy is constrained, the efficient frontiers for all three objective functions are similar, but the optimal policies are quite different.

Continuous time mean variance asset allocation: A time-consistent strategy
We develop a numerical scheme for determining the optimal asset allocation strategy for time-consistent, continuous time, mean variance optimization. Any type of constraint can be applied to the investment policy. The optimal policies for time-consistent and pre-commitment strategies are compared. When realistic constraints are applied, the efficient frontiers for the precommitment and time-con...

متن کاملMean - Variance
We provide a new characterization of mean-variance hedging strategies in a general semimartingale market. The key point is the introduction of a new probability measure P ⋆ which turns the dynamic asset allocation problem into a myopic one. The minimal martingale measure relative to P ⋆ coincides with the variance-optimal martin-gale measure relative to the original probability measure P .
