Dynamic portfolio optimization with risk management and strategy constraints

Csilla Krommerová, Igor Melicherčík (2014)

Kybernetika

We investigate the problem of power utility maximization considering risk management and strategy constraints. The aim of this paper is to obtain admissible dynamic portfolio strategies. In case the floor is guaranteed with probability one, we provide two admissible solutions, the option based portfolio insurance in the constrained model, and the alternative method and show that none of the solutions dominate the other. In case the floor is guaranteed partially, we provide one admissible solution,...

Exponential utility optimization, indifference pricing and hedging for a payment process

Łukasz Delong (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We deal with pricing and hedging for a payment process. We investigate a Black-Scholes financial market with stochastic coefficients and a stream of liabilities with claims occurring at random times, continuously over the duration of the contract and at the terminal time. The random times of the claims are generated by a random measure with a stochastic intensity of jumps. The claims are written on the asset traded in the financial market and on the non-tradeable source of risk driven by the random...

Gain-loss pricing under ambiguity of measure

Mustafa Ç. Pınar (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Motivated by the observation that the gain-loss criterion, while offering economically meaningful prices of contingent claims, is sensitive to the reference measure governing the underlying stock price process (a situation referred to as ambiguity of measure), we propose a gain-loss pricing model robust to shifts in the reference measure. Using a dual representation property of polyhedral risk measures we obtain a one-step, gain-loss criterion based theorem of asset pricing under ambiguity of...

Hedging of the European option in discrete time under transaction costs depending on time

Marek Andrzej Kociński (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Hedging of the European option in a discrete time financial market with proportional transaction costs is considered. It is shown that for a certain class of options the set of portfolios which allow the seller to pay the claim of the buyer in quite a general discrete time market model is the same as the set of such portfolios under the assumption that the stock price movement is given by a suitable CRR model.

Indifference valuation in incomplete binomial models

M. Musiela, E. Sokolova, T. Zariphopoulou (2010)

MathematicS In Action

The indifference valuation problem in incomplete binomial models is analyzed. The model is more general than the ones studied so far, because the stochastic factor, which generates the market incompleteness, may affect the transition propabilities and/or the values of the traded asset as well as the claim’s payoff. Two pricing algorithms are constructed which use, respectively, the minimal martingale and the minimal entropy measures. We study in detail the interplay among the different kinds of...

Integral representations of risk functions for basket derivatives

Michał Barski (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The risk minimizing problem E [ l ( ( H - X T x , π ) ) ] π m i n in the multidimensional Black-Scholes framework is studied. Specific formulas for the minimal risk function and the cost reduction function for basket derivatives are shown. Explicit integral representations for the risk functions for l(x) = x and l ( x ) = x p , with p > 1 for digital, quantos, outperformance and spread options are derived.

Nonexpansive maps and option pricing theory

Vassili N. Kolokoltsov (1998)

Kybernetika

The famous Black–Sholes (BS) and Cox–Ross–Rubinstein (CRR) formulas are basic results in the modern theory of option pricing in financial mathematics. They are usually deduced by means of stochastic analysis; various generalisations of these formulas were proposed using more sophisticated stochastic models for common stocks pricing evolution. In this paper we develop systematically a deterministic approach to the option pricing that leads to a different type of generalisations of BS and CRR formulas...

On Backward Stochastic Differential Equations Approach to Valuation of American Options

Tomasz Klimsiak, Andrzej Rozkosz (2011)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We consider the problem of valuation of American (call and put) options written on a dividend paying stock governed by the geometric Brownian motion. We show that the value function has two different but related representations: by means of a solution of some nonlinear backward stochastic differential equation, and by a weak solution to some semilinear partial differential equation.

Parabolic variational inequalities with generalized reflecting directions

Eduard Rotenstein (2015)

Open Mathematics

We study, in a Hilbert framework, some abstract parabolic variational inequalities, governed by reflecting subgradients with multiplicative perturbation, of the following type: y´(t)+ Ay(t)+0.t Θ(t,y(t)) ∂φ(y(t))∋f(t,y(t)),y(0) = y0,t ∈[0,T] where A is a linear self-adjoint operator, ∂φ is the subdifferential operator of a proper lower semicontinuous convex function φ defined on a suitable Hilbert space, and Θ is the perturbing term which acts on the set of reflecting directions, destroying the...
