Optimal Investment And Consumption

We are concerned with an investment and consumption problem with stochastic interest rate and stochastic volatility, in which interest rate dynamic is described by the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross (CIR) model and the volatility of the stock is driven by Heston’s stochastic volatility model. We apply stochastic optimal control theory to obtain the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for the value function and choose power utility and logarithm utility for our analysis. By using separate variable approach and variable change technique, we obtain the closed-form expressions of the optimal investment and consumption strategy. A numerical example is given to illustrate our results and to analyze the effect of market parameters on the optimal investment and consumption strategies.

In this paper, we discuss the problem of pricing discretely sampled variance swaps under a hybrid stochastic model. Our modeling framework is a combination with a double Heston stochastic volatility model and a Cox–Ingersoll–Ross stochastic interest rate process. Due to the application of the T-forward measure with the stochastic interest process, we can only obtain an efficient semi-closed form of pricing formula for variance swaps instead of a closed-form solution based on the derivation of characteristic functions. The practicality of this hybrid model is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

This paper presents an extension of double Heston stochastic volatility model by incorporating stochastic interest rates and derives explicit solutions for the prices of the continuously monitored fixed and floating strike geometric Asian options. The discounted joint characteristic function of the log-asset price and its log-geometric mean value is computed by using the change of numeraire and the Fourier inversion transform technique. We also provide efficient approximated approach and analyze several effects on option prices under the proposed model. Numerical examples show that both stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate have a significant impact on option values, particularly on the values of longer term options. The proposed model is suitable for modeling the longer time real-market changes and managing the credit risks.

AbstractThis paper considers the reinsurance-investment problem for an insurer with dynamic income to balance the profit of insurance company and policy-holders. The insurer’s dynamic income is given by a net premium minus a dynamic reward budget item and the net premium is obtained according to the expected premium principle. Applying the stochastic control technique, a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation is established under stochastic interest rate model and the explicit solution is obtained by maximizing the insurer’s power utility of terminal wealth. In addition, the comparison with corresponding results under constant interest rate helps us to understand the role and influence of stochastic interest rates more in-depth.

We study the optimal investment strategies of DC pension, with the stochastic interest rate (including the CIR model and the Vasicek model) and stochastic salary. In our model, the plan member is allowed to invest in a risk-free asset, a zero-coupon bond, and a single risky asset. By applying the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, Legendre transform, and dual theory, we find the explicit solutions for the CRRA and CARA utility functions, respectively.

Instantaneous Volatility

Forward start options are examined in Heston's (Review of Financial Studies6 (1993) 327–343) stochastic volatility model with the CIR (Econometrica53 (1985) 385–408) stochastic interest rates. The instantaneous volatility and the instantaneous short rate are assumed to be correlated with the dynamics of stock return. The main result is an analytic formula for the price of a forward start European call option. It is derived using the probabilistic approach combined with the Fourier inversion technique, as developed in Carr and Madan (Journal of Computational Finance2 (1999) 61–73).
