Optimal portfolio and background risk: an exact and an approximated solution
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper analyses the portfolio problem of an investor maximizing the expected exponential utility of his terminal real wealth. The investor must cope with both a set of stochastic investment opportunities and a set of background risks. If the market is complete we are able to find an exact solution. If the market is incomplete, we suggest an approximated general solution. Contrary to other exact solutions obtained in the literature, all our results are obtained considering a stochastic inflation risk and without specifying any particular functional form for the stochastic variables involved in the problem. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Characterizing Solution for Stock Portfolio Problem via Pythagorean Fuzzy Approach
The portfolio optimization is one of the fundamental problems in asset management that aims to reduce the risk of an investment by diversifying it into assets expected to fluctuate independently. A portfolio is a grouping of financial assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies and cash equivalents, as well as their funds counterparts, including mutual, exchange- traded and closed fun...
متن کاملOptimal Portfolio Selection for Tehran Stock Exchange Using Conditional, Partitioned and Worst-case Value at Risk Measures
This paper presents an optimal portfolio selection approach based on value at risk (VaR), conditional value at risk (CVaR), worst-case value at risk (WVaR) and partitioned value at risk (PVaR) measures as well as calculating these risk measures. Mathematical solution methods for solving these optimization problems are inadequate and very complex for a portfolio with high number of assets. For t...
متن کاملThe Tail Mean-Variance Model and Extended Efficient Frontier
In portfolio theory, it is well-known that the distributions of stock returns often have non-Gaussian characteristics. Therefore, we need non-symmetric distributions for modeling and accurate analysis of actuarial data. For this purpose and optimal portfolio selection, we use the Tail Mean-Variance (TMV) model, which focuses on the rare risks but high losses and usually happens in the tail of r...
متن کاملOptimal Portfolio Allocation based on two Novel Risk Measures and Genetic Algorithm
The problem of optimal portfolio selection has attracted a great attention in the finance and optimization field. The future stock price should be predicted in an acceptable precision, and a suitable model and criterion for risk and the expected return of the stock portfolio should be proposed in order to solve the optimization problem. In this paper, two new criterions for the risk of stock pr...
متن کاملAn optimal model for Project Risk Response Portfolio Selection (P2RPS) (Case study: Research institute of petroleum industry)
In the real world, risk and uncertainty are two natural properties in the implementation of Mega projects. Most projects fail to achieve the pre-determined objectives due to uncertainty. A linear integer programming optimization model was used in this work to solve a problem in order to choose the most appropriate risk responses for the project risks. A mathematical model, in which work structu...
