This paper investigates asset-liability management problems in a continuous-time economy. When the financial market consists of cointegrated risky assets, institutional investors attempt to make profit from the cointegration feature on the one hand, while on the other hand they need to maintain a stable surplus level, that is, the company’s wealth less its liability. Challenges occur when the liability is random and cannot be fully financed or hedged through the financial market. For mean–variance investors, an additional concern is the rational time-consistency issue, which ensures that a decision made in the future will not be restricted by the current surplus level. By putting all these factors together, this paper derives a closed-form feedback equilibrium control for time-consistent mean–variance asset-liability management problems with cointegrated risky assets. The solution is built upon the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman framework addressing time inconsistency. doi: 10.1017/S1446181120000164

This paper addresses a comparison between different approaches to time inconsistency for the mean-variance portfolio selection problem. We define a suitable intertemporal preferences-driven reward and use it to compare three common approaches to time inconsistency for the mean-variance portfolio selection problem over [Formula: see text]: precommitment approach, consistent planning or game theoretical approach, and dynamically optimal approach. We prove that, while the precommitment strategy beats the other two strategies (that is a well-known obvious result), the consistent planning strategy dominates the dynamically optimal strategy until a time point [Formula: see text] and is dominated by the dynamically optimal strategy from [Formula: see text] onwards. Existence and uniqueness of the break even point [Formula: see text] is proven.

This paper studies a variation of the continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection where a tracking-error penalization is added to the mean-variance criterion. The tracking error term penalizes the distance between the allocation controls and a reference portfolio with same wealth and fixed weights. Such consideration is motivated as follows: (i) On the one hand, it is a way to robustify the mean-variance allocation in the case of misspecified parameters, by “fitting" it to a reference portfolio that can be agnostic to market parameters; (ii) On the other hand, it is a procedure to track a benchmark and improve the Sharpe ratio of the resulting portfolio by considering a mean-variance criterion in the objective function. This problem is formulated as a McKean–Vlasov control problem. We provide explicit solutions for the optimal portfolio strategy and asymptotic expansions of the portfolio strategy and efficient frontier for small values of the tracking error parameter. Finally, we compare the Sharpe ratios obtained by the standard mean-variance allocation and the penalized one for four different reference portfolios: equal-weights, minimum-variance, equal risk contributions and shrinking portfolio. This comparison is done on a simulated misspecified model, and on a backtest performed with historical data. Our results show that in most cases, the penalized portfolio outperforms in terms of Sharpe ratio both the standard mean-variance and the reference portfolio.

Using the minimum variance model, optimal human forearm trajectories formation was investigated using a discrete time linear quadratic regulator. First, the continuous dynamics of the human forearm were established on the basis of the relation between muscle torque and neural control signal, and then we transferred the continuous system dynamics to discrete time notation. Finally we expressed the objective function of minimum variance model using a discrete time linear quadratic regulator and employed Riccati recursion to obtain the optimal movement trajectories of the human forearm. The results of example simulation show that the optimal movement trajectory of the forearm follows a smooth curve, and the speed curve of the hand is single peaked and bell shaped. These are in good agreement with the inherent kinematic properties of optimal movement, and therefore the method is effective for calculating the optimal movement trajectory of the human forearm.
