Portfolio Optimization under Shortfall Risk Constraint
This paper solves a utility maximization problem under utility-based shortfall risk constraint, by proposing an approach using Lagrange multiplier and convex duality. Under mild conditions on the asymptotic elasticity of the utility function and the loss function, we find an optimal wealth process for the constrained problem and characterize the bi-dual relation between the respective value functions of the constrained problem and its dual. This approach applies to both complete and incomplete markets. Moreover, the extension to more complicated cases is illustrated by solving the problem with a consumption process added. Finally, we give an example of utility and loss functions in the Black-Scholes market where the solutions have explicit forms.

The ineffectiveness of coherent risk measures
We show that coherent risk measures are ineffective in curbing the behaviour of investors with limited liability or excessive tail-risk seeking behaviour if the market admits statistical arbitrage opportunities which we …
The importance of dynamic risk constraints for limited liability operators
Previous literature shows that prevalent risk measures such as Value at Risk or Expected Shortfall are ineffective to curb excessive risk-taking by a tail-risk-seeking trader with S-shaped utility function in the context…
Optimizing Expected Shortfall under an $\ell_1$ constraint -- an analytic approach
Expected Shortfall (ES), the average loss above a high quantile, is the current financial regulatory market risk measure. Its estimation and optimization are highly unstable against sample fluctuations and become impossi…
Time Series AnalysisMulti-period Mean-Buffered Probability of Exceedance in Defined Contribution Portfolio Optimization
We investigate multi-period mean-risk portfolio optimization for long-horizon Defined Contribution plans, focusing on buffered Probability of Exceedance (bPoE), a more intuitive, dollar-based alternative to Conditional V…

Risk budgeting is a portfolio strategy where each asset contributes a prespecified amount to the aggregate risk of the portfolio. In this work, we propose an efficient numerical framework that uses only simulations of re…
