In this paper we formulate the Risk Management Control problem in the interest rate area as a constrained stochastic portfolio optimization problem. The utility that we use can be any continuous function and based on the viscosity theory, the unique solution of the problem is guaranteed. The...

Using a representative sample of 13F reports providing novel information on option characteristics and prices, we document that hedge funds prefer to hold liquid high–embedded leverage options without lottery-like skewness. Various portfolios mimicking hedge funds' option holdings earn...

The paper considers the option of an investor to invest in a project that generates perpetual cash flows, of which the drift parameter is unobservable. The investor invests in a liquid financial market to partially hedge cash flow risk and estimation risk. We derive two 3-dimensional non-linear...
