We calculate numerically the optimal allocation and consumption strategies for Merton's optimal portfolio management problem when the risky asset is modelled by a geometric normal inverse Gaussian Lévy process. We compare the computed strategies to the ones given by the standard asset model of geometric Brownian motion. To have realistic parameters in our studies, we choose Norsk Hydro quoted on the New York Stock Exchange as the risky asset. We find that an investor believing in the normal inverse Gaussian model puts a greater fraction of wealth into the risky asset. We also investigate the limiting investment rate when the volatility increases. We observe different behaviour in the two models depending on which parameters we vary in the normal inverse Gaussian distribution.

In this paper we perform a statistical analysis of the returns of OMX Baltic Benchmark index. We construct symmetric α-stable, non-standardized Student’s t and normal-inverse Gaussian models of daily logarithmic returns of the index, using maximum likelihood method for the estimation of the parameters of the models. The adequacy of the modeling is evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests for composite hypothesis. The results of the study indicate that the normal-inverse Gaussian model outperforms alternative heavy-tailed models for long periods of time, while the non-standardized Student’s t model provides the best overall fit for the data for shorter intervals. According to the likelihood-ratio test, the four-parameter models of the log-returns of OMX Baltic Benchmark index could be reduced to the three-parameter (symmetric) models without much loss.

This paper gives a theorem for the continuous time super-replication cost of European options in an unbounded multinomial market. An approximation multinomial scheme is put forward on a finite time interval [0,1] corresponding to a pure jump Lévy model with unbounded jumps. Under the assumption that the expected underlying stock price at time 1 is bounded, the limit of the sequence of the super-replication cost in a multinomial model is proved to be greater than or equal to an optimal control problem. Furthermore, it is discussed that the existence conditions of a super-replication cost and a liquidity premium for the multinomial model. This paper concentrates on a multinomial tree with unbounded jumps, which can be seen as an extension of the work of (Xing, 2015). The super-replication cost and the liquidity premium under the variance gamma model and the normal inverse Gaussian model are calculated and illustrated.
