We establish the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium for a stochastic mean-field game of optimal investment. The analysis covers both finite and infinite time horizons, and the mean-field interaction of the representative company with a mass of identical and indistinguishable firms is...

This paper develops an approximate closed-form optimal portfolio allocation formula for a spot asset whose variance follows a GARCH(1,1) process. We consider an investor with constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) utility who wants to maximize the expected utility from terminal wealth under a...

In this paper, cryptocurrencies are analysed as investment instruments. The study aims to verify whether they can be classified as an asset class and what kind of benefits they may bring to the investor's portfolio. We used 6 indices as proxies for the major asset classes, including the...

The algorithm for optimization of a credit portfolio has not been fully demonstrated. This paper fills the gap in the literature by presenting a general approach for optimizing a credit portfolio by minimizing the default risk of the entire portfolio. Default risk is measured with quadratic...

This paper develops a dynamic portfolio selection model incorporating economic uncertainty for business cycles. It is assumed that the financial market at each point in time is defined by a hidden Markov model, which is characterized by the overall equity market returns and volatility. The risk...

Purpose: This article deals with the retail investors' decision-making under risk, firstly addressing several theories of decision-making under risk. Following this theoretical framework, an analysis on investment strategies on the Croatian capital market has been conducted....

This study focuses on efficient asset allocations that properly include T-bills, T-bonds, and the S&P 500 stock index. It checks that their annual real rates of linear return are both normal and almost lognormal. It reexamines how efficient portfolios based on the rates of linear return may turn...

Aim/purpose - In this paper, a market volatility-robust portfolio composition framework under the modified Markowitz’s approach with the use of sampling methods is developed in order to improve the allocation efficiency for a portfolio of financial instruments formulation procedure at an...

The combination of stochastic derivative pricing models and downside risk measures often leads to the paradox (risk, return) = (−infinity, +infinity) in a portfolio choice problem. The construction of a portfolio of derivatives with high expected returns and very negative downside risk...

This paper studies a discrete-time portfolio optimization problem, wherein the underlying risky asset follows a Lévy GARCH model. Besides a Gaussian noise, the framework allows for various jump increments, including infinite-activity jumps. Using a dynamic programming approach and exploiting...
