We discuss the problem of exponential hedging in the presence of model uncertainty expressed by a set of probability measures. This is a robust utility maximization problem with a contingent claim. We first consider the dual problem which is the minimization of penalized relative entropy over a product set of probability measures, showing the existence and variational characterizations of the solution. These results are applied to the primal problem. Then we consider the robust version of exponential utility indifference valuation, giving the representation of indifference price using a duality result.

We study the exponential utility indifference valuation of a contingent claim B in an incomplete market driven by two Brownian motions. The claim depends on a nontradable asset stochastically correlated with the traded asset available for hedging. We use martingale arguments to provide upper and lower bounds, in terms of bounds on the correlation, for the value VB of the exponential utility maximization problem with the claim B as random endowment. This yields an explicit formula for the indifference value b of B at any time, even with a fairly general stochastic correlation. Earlier results with constant correlation are recovered and extended. The reason why all this works is that, after a transformation to the minimal martingale measure, the value VB enjoys a monotonicity property in the correlation between tradable and nontradable assets.

We propose, in this paper, a new valuation method for contingent claims, which approximates to the exponential utility indifference valuation. In particular, we treat both ask and bid valuations. In the definition of the exponential utility indifference valuation, we require strong integrability for the underlying contingent claim. The new valuation in this paper succeeds in reducing it by using a kind of power functions instead of the exponential function. Furthermore, we shall investigate some basic properties and an asymptotic behavior of the new valuation.
