In article we consider a problem of optimal investment strategy by a commercial bank building. This task is actual and the development of a procedure to solve it can help in making investment banking decisions. The general formulation of the problem consists of two criteria. The first one is to maximize the expected return, and the second is to minimize the risk of the investment transaction. Mathematical formulation of the problem is considered as a problem of nonlinear programming under constraints. The procedure for solving such a two-criteria optimization problem allows to obtain many solutions, which requires further steps to make a single optimal solution. According to the algorithm proposed in the work, the problem is divided into two separate problems of single-criteria optimization. Each of these tasks allows to obtain the optimal values of the investment vector both in terms of its expected return and in terms of investment risk. Additional constraints in the mathematical formulation of the problem, make it possible to take into account factors that, from the point of view of the investor, may influence decision-making. The procedures presented in this work allow to obtain analytical representations of formulas that describe the optimal values of the investment distribution vector for both mathematical formulations of the problem.

We assume that the drift in the returns of asset prices consists of an idiosyncratic component and a common component given by a co-integration factor. We analyze the optimal investment strategy for an agent who maximizes expected utility of wealth by dynamically trading in these assets. The optimal solution is constructed explicitly in closed-form and is shown to be affine in the co-integration factor. We calibrate the model to three assets traded on the Nasdaq exchange (Google, Facebook, and Amazon) and employ simulations to showcase the strategy’s performance.

This paper studies an investment-consumption problem under inflation. The consumption price level, the prices of the available assets, and the coefficient of the power utility are assumed to be sensitive to the states of underlying economy modulated by a continuous-time Markovian chain. The definition of admissible strategies and the verification theory corresponding to this stochastic control problem are presented. The analytical expression of the optimal investment strategy is derived. The existence, boundedness, and feasibility of the optimal consumption are proven. Finally, we analyze in detail by mathematical and numerical analysis how the risk aversion, the correlation coefficient between the inflation and the stock price, the inflation parameters, and the coefficient of utility affect the optimal investment and consumption strategy.

In this paper, we study the optimal investment and reinsurance problem of an insurance company whose investment preferences are described via a forward dynamic exponential utility in a regime-switching market model. Financial and actuarial frameworks are dependent since stock prices and insurance claims vary according to a common factor given by a continuous time finite state Markov chain. We construct the value function and we prove that it is a forward dynamic utility. Then, we characterize the optimal investment strategy and the optimal proportional level of reinsurance. We also perform numerical experiments and provide sensitivity analyses with respect to some model parameters.

Abstract The strategy to maximize the long-term growth rate of final wealth (maximum expected log strategy, maximum geometric mean strategy, Kelly criterion) is based on probability theoretic underpinnings and has asymptotic optimality properties. This article reviews the allocation of wealth in a two-asset economy with one risky asset and a risk-free asset. It is also shown that the optimal fraction to be invested in the risky asset (i) depends on the length of the basic return period and (ii) is lower for heavy-tailed log returns than for light-tailed log returns.
