Optimal Investment under Information Driven Contagious Distress
We introduce a dynamic optimization framework to analyze optimal portfolio allocations within an information driven contagious distress model. The investor allocates his wealth across several stocks whose growth rates and distress intensities are driven by a hidden Markov chain, and also influenced by the distress state of the economy. We show that the optimal investment strategies depend on the gradient of value functions, recursively linked to each other via the distress states. We establish uniform bounds for the solutions to a sequence of approximation problems, show their convergence to the unique Sobolev solution of the recursive system of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equations (HJB PDEs), and prove a verification theorem. We provide a numerical study to illustrate the sensitivity of the strategies to contagious distress, stock volatilities and risk aversion.

Optimal consumption-investment choices under wealth-driven risk aversion
CRRA utility where the risk aversion coefficient is a constant is commonly seen in various economics models. But wealth-driven risk aversion rarely shows up in investor's investment problems. This paper mainly focus on n…
Mean Field Game of Optimal Relative Investment with Jump Risk
This paper studies the n-player game and the mean field game under the CRRA relative performance on terminal wealth, in which the interaction occurs by peer competition. In the model with n agents, the price dynamics of …
Prophylaxis of Epidemic Spreading with Transient Dynamics
We investigate the containment of epidemic spreading in networks from a normative point of view. We consider a susceptible/infected model in which agents can invest in order to reduce the contagiousness of network links.…
The optimal investment strategy of a DC pension plan under deposit loan spread and the O-U process

Information Geometry of Risks and Returns
We reveal a geometric structure underlying both hedging and investment products. The structure follows from a simple formula expressing investment risks in terms of returns. This informs optimal product designs. Optimal …
