We find the asymptotics of the value function maximizing the expected utility of discounted dividend payments of an … insurance company whose reserves are modeled as a classical Cramér risk process, with exponentially distributed claims, when the … initial reserves tend to infinity. We focus on the power and logarithmic utility functions. We also perform some numerical …

Mean-variance portfolio optimization is more popular than optimization procedures that employ downside risk measures … results hold even if the CVaR is used, because all downside risk measures are difficult to estimate. The popularity of … variance as a measure of risk appears therefore to be rationally justified. …

We prove that the Omega measure, which considers all moments when assessing portfolio performance, is equivalent to the widely used Sharpe ratio under jointly elliptic distributions of returns. Portfolio optimization of the Sharpe ratio is then explored, with an active-set algorithm presented...

Dual risk models are popular for modeling a venture capital or high-tech company, for which the running cost is … deterministic and the profits arrive stochastically over time. Most of the existing literature on dual risk models concentrates on … development for the dual risk models to minimize the ruin probability of the underlying company. We will also study the …
