Outperforming the Market Portfolio with a given Probability by Erhan Bayraktar1, Yu-jui Huang

چکیده
Our goal is to resolve a problem proposed by Fernholz and Karatzas [On optimal arbitrage (2008) Columbia Univ.]: to characterize the minimum amount of initial capital with which an investor can beat the market portfolio with a certain probability, as a function of the market configuration and time to maturity. We show that this value function is the smallest nonnegative viscosity supersolution of a nonlinear PDE. As in Fernholz and Karatzas [On optimal arbitrage (2008) Columbia Univ.], we do not assume the existence of an equivalent local martingale measure, but merely the existence of a local martingale deflator.

Robust Maximization of Asymptotic Growth under Covariance Uncertainty by Erhan Bayraktar1 and Yu-jui Huang
This paper resolves a question proposed in Kardaras and Robertson [Ann. Appl. Probab. 22 (2012) 1576–1610]: how to invest in a robust growthoptimal way in a market where precise knowledge of the covariance structure of the underlying assets is unavailable. Among an appropriate class of admissible covariance structures, we characterize the optimal trading strategy in terms of a generalized versi...

متن کاملOn the Multi-Dimensional Controller and Stopper Games
We consider a zero-sum stochastic differential controller-and-stopper game in which the state process is a controlled diffusion evolving in a multi-dimensional Euclidean space. In this game, the controller affects both the drift and the volatility terms of the state process. Under appropriate conditions, we show that the game has a value and the value function is the unique viscosity solution t...
متن کاملBeating a moving target: Optimal portfolio strategies for outperforming a stochastic benchmark
We consider the portfolio problem in continuous-time where the objective of the investor or money manager is to exceed the performance of a given stochastic benchmark, as is often the case in institutional money management. The benchmark is driven by a stochastic process that need not be perfectly correlated with the investment opportunities, and so the market is in a sense incomplete. We first...
متن کاملPortfolio optimization when asset returns have the Gaussian mixture distribution
Portfolios of assets whose returns have the Gaussian mixture distribution are optimized in the static setting to find portfolio weights and efficient frontiers using the probability of outperforming a target return and Hodges’ modified Sharpe ratio objective functions. The sensitivities of optimal portfolio weights to the probability of the market being in the distressed regime are shown to giv...
