We present the model of corporate optimal investment with consideration of the influence of inflation and the difference between the market opening and market closure. In our model, the investor has three market activities of his or her choice: investment in project A, investment in project B, and consumption. The optimal strategy for the investor is obtained using the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation which is derived using the dynamic programming principle. Further along, a specific case, the Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion case, is discussed in detail, where the explicit optimal strategy can be obtained using a very simple and direct method. At the very end, we present some simulation results along with a brief analysis of the relationship between the optimal strategy and other factors.

This paper provides a Legendre transform method to deal with a class of investment and consumption problems, whose objective function is to maximize the expected discount utility of intermediate consumption and terminal wealth in the finite horizon. Assume that risk preference of the investor is described by hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) utility function, which includes power utility, exponential utility, and logarithm utility as special cases. The optimal investment and consumption strategy for HARA utility is explicitly obtained by applying dynamic programming principle and Legendre transform technique. Some special cases are also discussed.

We investigate the optimal strategy over a finite time horizon for a portfolio of stock and bond and a derivative in an multiplicative Markovian market model with transaction costs (friction). The optimization problem is solved by a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, which by the verification theorem has well-behaved solutions if certain conditions on a potential are satisfied. In the case at hand, these conditions simply imply arbitrage-free ("Black–Scholes") pricing of the derivative. While pricing is hence not changed by friction allow a portfolio to fluctuate around a delta hedge. In the limit of weak friction, we determine the optimal control to essentially be of two parts: a strong control, which tries to bring the stock-and-derivative portfolio towards a Black–Scholes delta hedge; and a weak control, which moves the portfolio by adding or subtracting a Black–Scholes hedge. For simplicity we assume growth-optimal investment criteria and quadratic friction.

This paper considers the optimal investment-reinsurance problem under the monotone mean-variance preference. The monotone mean-variance preference is a monotone version of the classical mean-variance preference. First of all, we reformulate the original problem as a zero-sum stochastic differential game. Secondly, the optimal strategy and the optimal value function for the monotone mean-variance problem are derived by the approach of dynamic programming and the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equation. Thirdly, the efficient frontier is obtained and it is proved that the optimal strategy is an efficient strategy. Finally, the continuous-time monotone capital asset pricing model is derived.

AbstractIn this paper, optimal consumption and investment decisions are studied for an investor who has available a bank account and a stock whose price is a log normal diffusion. The bank pays at an interest rate r(t) for any deposit, and vice takes at a larger rate r′(t) for any loan. Optimal strategies are obtained via Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation which is derived from dynamic programming principle. For the specific HARA case, we get the optimal consumption and optimal investment explicitly, which coincides with the classical one under the condition r′(t) ≡ r(t)

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.

AbstractWe consider an insurance company whose surplus is governed by a jump diffusion risk process. The insurance company can purchase proportional reinsurance for claims and invest its surplus in a risk-free asset and a risky asset whose return follows a jump diffusion process. Our main goal is to find an optimal investment and proportional reinsurance policy which maximizes the expected exponential utility of the terminal wealth. By solving the corresponding Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, closed-form solutions for the value function as well as the optimal investment and proportional reinsurance policy are obtained. We also discuss the effects of parameters on the optimal investment and proportional reinsurance policy by numerical calculations.

In this work we study the stochastic recursive control problem, in which the aggregator (or generator) of the backward stochastic differential equation describing the running cost is continuous but not necessarily Lipschitz with respect to the first unknown variable and the control, and monotonic with respect to the first unknown variable. The dynamic programming principle and the connection between the value function and the viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation are established in this setting by the generalized comparison theorem for backward stochastic differential equations and the stability of viscosity solutions. Finally we take the control problem of continuous-time Epstein−Zin utility with non-Lipschitz aggregator as an example to demonstrate the application of our study.
