Consider an insurer who invests in the financial market where correlations among risky asset returns are randomly changing over time. The insurer who faces the risk of paying stochastic insurance claims needs to manage her asset and liability by taking into account of the correlation risk. This...

This paper investigates the time-consistent dynamic mean–variance hedging of longevity risk with a longevity security contingent on a mortality index or the national mortality. Using an HJB framework, we solve the hedging problem in which insurance liabilities follow a doubly stochastic...

The cointegration of major financial markets around the globe is well evidenced with strong empirical support. This paper considers the continuous-time mean–variance (MV) asset–liability management (ALM) problem for an insurer investing in an incomplete financial market with cointegrated...

This paper considers the continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection problem in a financial market in which asset prices are cointegrated. The asset price dynamics are then postulated as the diffusion limit of the corresponding discrete-time error-correction model of cointegrated time...

This paper considers the optimal investment problem for an insurer that invests in cointegrated assets subject to the random payments of insurance claims. The insurer’s objective is to maximize the expected utility of the terminal wealth subject to the cointegration dynamics of risky assets...

We develop in this paper a novel portfolio selection framework with a feature of double robustness in both return distribution modeling and portfolio optimization. While predicting the future return distributions always represents the most compelling challenge in investment, any underlying...

When we implement a portfolio selection methodology under a mean-risk formulation, it is essential to correctly model investors' risk aversion which may be time-dependent, or even state-dependent during the investment procedure. In this paper, we propose a behavior risk aversion model, which is...

We consider in this paper the mean–variance formulation in multi-period portfolio selection under no-shorting constraint. Recognizing the structure of a piecewise quadratic value function, we prove that the optimal portfolio policy is piecewise linear with respect to the current wealth level,...

In this paper we consider cardinality-constrained convex programs that minimize a convex function subject to a cardinality constraint and other linear constraints. This class of problems has found many applications, including portfolio selection, subset selection and compressed sensing. We...
