Better than pre-commitment mean-variance portfolio allocation strategies: A semi-self-financing Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation approach

DM Dang, PA Forsyth - European Journal of Operational Research, 2016 - Elsevier
We generalize the idea of semi-self-financing strategies, originally discussed in Ehrbar
(1990), and later formalized in Cui et al (2012), for the pre-commitment mean-variance (MV) …

Markowitz's mean–variance defined contribution pension fund management under inflation: A continuous-time model

H Yao, Z Yang, P Chen - Insurance: Mathematics and Economics, 2013 - Elsevier
In defined contribution (DC) pension schemes, the financial risk borne by the member
occurs during the accumulation phase. To build up sufficient funds for retirement, scheme …

Mean-variance portfolio selection for a non-life insurance company

Ł Delong, R Gerrard - Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 2007 - Springer
We consider a collective insurance risk model with a compound Cox claim process, in which
the evolution of a claim intensity is described by a stochastic differential equation driven by a …

Managing capital market and longevity risks in a defined benefit pension plan

SH Cox, Y Lin, R Tian, J Yu - Journal of Risk and Insurance, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
