Regime switching based portfolio selection for pension funds

Regime switching based portfolio selection for pension funds

This paper shows how a mean variance criterion can be applied to a multi period setting in order to obtain efficient portfolios in an asset and liability context. The optimization model allows for rebalancing activities, transaction costs, stochastic volatilities for both assets and liabilities. Furthermore, a general framework for the projection of pension fund liabilities as well as for the g...

Portfolio Management for Pension Funds

This paper introduces the use of dynamic stochastic optimisation pension fund management. The design of such products involves econometric modelling, economic scenario generation, generic methods of solving optimization problems and modelling of required risk tolerances. In nearly all the historical backtests using data over roughly the past decade the system described (with transactions costs ...

Portfolio Selection with Jumps under Regime Switching

We investigate a continuous-time version of the mean-variance portfolio selection model with jumps under regime switching. The portfolio selection is proposed and analyzed for a market consisting of one bank account andmultiple stocks. The random regime switching is assumed to be independent of the underlying Brownian motion and jump processes. A Markov chain modulated diffusion formulation is ...

Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection for Defined-Contribution Pension Funds with Stochastic Salary

This paper focuses on a continuous-time dynamic mean-variance portfolio selection problem of defined-contribution pension funds with stochastic salary, whose risk comes from both financial market and nonfinancial market. By constructing a special Riccati equation as a continuous (actually a viscosity) solution to the HJB equation, we obtain an explicit closed form solution for the optimal inves...
