Abstract: We consider a controlled diffusion process $(X_t{)}_{tge0}$ where the controller is allowed to choose the drift $m{u}_t$ and the volatility $sigm{a}_t$ from a set $K(x)subsetRimes(0,infty)$ when $X_t=x$. By choosing the largest $fracmusigm{a}^2$ at every point in time an extremal process is constructed which is under suitable time changes stochastically larger than any other admissible process. This observation immediately leads to a very simple solution of problems where ruin or hitting probabilities have to be minimized. Under further conditions this extremal process also minimizes "drawdown" probabilities.
