This paper provides a new method for constructing a dynamic optimal portfolio for asset management. This method generates a target payoff distribution using the cheapest dynamic trading strategy. As a practical example, the method is applied to hedge fund replication. This dynamic portfolio...

The mean-variance hedging (MVH) problem is studied in a partially observable market where the drift processes can only be inferred through the observation of asset or index processes. Although most of the literature treats the MVH problem by the duality method, here we study an equivalent system...

This paper demonstrates the pricing and hedging efficiency of a three-factor stochastic mean reversion Gaussian model of commodity prices using oil and copper futures and forward contracts. The model is estimated using NYMEX WTI (light sweet crude oil) and LME Copper futures prices and is shown...

The importance of collateralization through a change of funding cost is now well recognized among practitioners. In this article, the authors have extended previous studies of collateralized derivative pricing to more generic situations, i.e. asymmetric and imperfect collateralization with the...
