In this paper we show how an optimization problem involving the expected performance of a stochastic system can be estimated using a single simulation experiment. The proposed method is based on a probability measure transformation and generation of a stochastic counterpart to the deterministic...

This article investigates a fund manager's risk-taking incentives induced by an increasing and convex relationship of fund flows to relative performance. In a dynamic portfolio choice framework, we show that the ensuing convexities in the manager's objective give rise to a finite risk-shifting...
