In this paper, we show that if asset returns follow a generalized hyperbolic skewed t distribution, the investor has exponential utility function and a riskless asset is available, the optimal portfolio weights can be found either in closed-form or using a successive approximation scheme. We...

As an integrated part of a supply contract, trade credit has intrinsic connections with supply chain coordination and inventory management. Using a model that explicitly captures the interaction of firms' operations decisions, financial constraints, and multiple financing channels (bank loans...

We consider an optimal risk-sensitive portfolio allocation problem accounting for the possibility of cascading defaults. Default events have an impact on the distress state of the surviving stocks in the portfolio. We study the recursive system of non-Lipschitz quasi-linear parabolic HJB-PDEs...

We study the continuous time portfolio selection problem over a finite horizon for an investor who maximizes the expected utility of terminal wealth and faces transaction costs. The portfolio consists of a risk-free asset, and a risky asset whose price is modeled as a geometric Brownian motion....

Based on the work of Brandt et al. (2009), we formulate an index tracking and enhanced indexation model using a parametric approach. The portfolio weights are modeled as functions of assets characteristics and similarity measures of the assets with the index to track. This approach permits...
