We consider portfolio optimization in a regime-switching market. The assets of the portfolio are modeled through a hidden Markov model (HMM) in discrete time, where drift and volatility of the single assets are allowed to switch between different states. We consider different parametrizations of...

Based on a robustness concept adapted from mathematical statistics, we investigate robust optimal investment strategies for worst-case crash scenarios when the maximum crash height is not known a priori. We specify an efficiency criterion in terms of the certainty equivalents of optimal terminal...
