We study a classical stochastic control problem arising in financial economics: to maximize expected logarithmic utility from terminal wealth and/or consumption. The novel feature of our work is that the portfolio is allowed to anticipate the future, i.e. the terminal values of the prices, or of the driving Brownian motion, are known to the investor, either exactly or with some uncertainty. Results on the finiteness of the value of the control problem are obtained in various setups, using techniques from the so-called enlargement of filtrations. When the value of the problem is finite, we compute it explicitly and exhibit an optimal portfolio in closed form.

In this paper, we investigate executive stock options with endogenous departure and time-varying variances. We use a “Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity” process to capture the variance process of the log stock price. In addition, we take into consideration the departure risk of the executive and assume that the probability of remaining employed has a power form of stock price ratios. After deriving the closed-form pricing formulae of executive stock options, we illustrate the effects of the departure risk on the values of executive stock options.
