Stochastic Control for Asset Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
An investor is often faced with the investment situation in which he/she has to decide how to allocate his/her limited funds optimally among different assets to maximize his/her expected utility over the holding period. To this end, this study sets up a dynamic model driven by three assets to characterize the stochastic nature of the securities market and uses stochastic control to derive an explicit formula for the optimal fraction invested in each of the three assets for an investor with a power utility and a holding period of 10 years. Using estimated parameter values as inputs and implicit finite difference method, we determine numerically the optimal percentages invested in the three assets at each time over the holding period for both less risk-averse and more risk-averse investors.

A Defined Benefit Pension Fund ALM Model through Multistage Stochastic Programming
We consider an asset-liability management (ALM) problem for a defined benefit pension fund (PF). The PF manager is assumed to follow a maximal fund valuation problem facing an extended set of risk factors: due to the longevity of the PF members, the inflation affecting salaries in real terms and future incomes, interest rates and market factors affecting jointly the PF liability and asset p...

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...

This 1)aper addresses the stochastic modeling for managing asset liability process. We start with developing a jump-diffusion process for evaluating of the liabilities of the insurance company in general. We then tbrnmlate the ALM process into a stochastic control problem. With this approach, we present a Bel|man-Dreyfus Fundamental type formula for ALM process in terms of the solution of a sys...

Considering the valuation of forest stands based on revenue from wood sales, concession policy (such as carbon subsidies) and associated costs, the paper focuses on the stochastic control model to study the forest asset dynamic management. The key contribution is to find the optimal dynamic strategy about harvesting quantity in the continual and multiple periods in conditions of stochastic comm...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Fractional Black Scholes Equation Based on Radial Basis Functions Method
Options pricing have an important role in risk control and risk management. Pricing discussion requires modelling process, solving methods and implementing the model by real data in a given market. In this paper we show a model for underlying asset based on fractional stochastic models which is a particular type of behavior of stochastic assets changing. In addition a numerical method based on ...
