We investigate multiperiod portfolio selection problems in a Black & Scholes type market where a basket of 1 riskfree and m risky securities are traded continuously. We look for the optimal allocation of wealth within the class of 'constant mix' portfolios.First, we consider the portfolio...

The distribution of the present value of a series of cash flows under stochastic interest rates has been investigated by many researchers. One of the main problems in this context is the fact that the calculation of exact analytical results for this type of distributions turns out to be rather...

In their seminal paper, Gerber and Shiu (1994) introduced the concept of the Esscher transform for option pricing. As examples they considered the shifted Poisson process, the random walk, a shifted gamma process and a shifted inverse Gaussian process to describe the logarithm of the stock...

Risk measures have been studied for several decades in the actuarial literature, where they appeared under the guise of premium calculation principles. Risk measures and properties that risk measures should satisfy have recently received considerable attention in the financial mathematics...

In this paper we examine and summarize properties of several well-known risk measuresthat can be used in the framework of setting solvency capital requirements for a risky business.Special attention is given to the class of (concave) distortion risk measures. We investigatethe relationship...
