MAXIMIZING THE GROWTH RATE UNDER RISK CONSTRAINTS

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We investigate the ergodic problem of growth-rate maximization under a class of risk constraints in the context of incomplete, It^{o}-process models of financial markets with random ergodic coefficients. Including {em value-at-risk} (VaR), {em tail-value-at-risk} (TVaR), and {em limited expected loss} (LEL), these constraints can be both wealth-dependent(relative) and wealth-independent (absolute). The optimal policy is shown to exist in an appropriate admissibility class, and can be obtained explicitly by uniform, state-dependent scaling down of the unconstrained (Merton) optimal portfolio. This implies that the risk-constrained wealth-growth optimizer locally behaves like a CRRA-investor, with the relative risk-aversion coefficient depending on the current values of the market coefficients.
