Exact Solutions for Optimal Investment Strategies and Indifference Prices under Non-Differentiable Preferences
We propose an algorithm to calculate the exact solution for utility optimization problems on finite state spaces under a class of non-differentiable preferences. We prove that optimal strategies must lie on a discrete grid in the plane, and this allows us to reduce the dimension of the problem and define a very efficient method to obtain those strategies. We also show how fast approximations for the value function can be obtained with an a priori specified error bound and we use these to replicate results for investment problems with a known closed-form solution. These results show the efficiency of our approach, which can then be used to obtain numerical solutions for problems for which no explicit formulas are known.

Optimal investment and contingent claim valuation with exponential disutility under proportional transaction costs
We consider indifference pricing of contingent claims consisting of payment flows in a discrete time model with proportional transaction costs and under exponential disutility. This setting covers utility maximisation as…
Worst-Case Optimal Investment in Incomplete Markets
We study and solve the worst-case optimal portfolio problem as pioneered by Korn and Wilmott (2002) of an investor with logarithmic preferences facing the possibility of a market crash with stochastic market coefficients…
Utility-based indifference pricing of pure endowments in a Markov-modulated market model
In this paper we study exponential utility indifference pricing of pure endowment policies in a stochastic-factor model for an insurance company, which can also invest in a financial market. Specifically, we propose a mo…
Portfolio and reinsurance optimization under unknown market price of risk
We investigate the optimal investment-reinsurance problem for insurance company with partial information on the market price of the risk. Through the use of filtering techniques we convert the original optimization probl…

In financial markets, agents often mutually influence each other's investment strategies and adjust their strategies to align with others. However, there is limited quantitative study of agents' investment strategies in …
