The wo problems of oally 3 quesions comprise 6 pages. Problem In his problem we shall sudy porfolio opimizaion under a predefined paymen sream give bealingssrøm). Throughou, n > is a fied ime horizon. During he lecures we have sudied a porfolio opimizaion problem where an invesor opimizes final wealh subjec o a predefined paymen rae y. This problem was formalized by ma E π γ X n)γ, where he wealh dynamics are given by dx ) = r + π α r)) X ) d yd + πσx ) dw ), X ) =, where we have used he noaion from he lecures, i.e. π represening he proporion of wealh invesed in a Black-Scholes marke sock inde, ec. The sign on y defines y as a predefined consumpion sream for y posiive) give forbrugsbealingssrøm). The siuaion of a negaive y hen describes he siuaion of a predefined income sream give indkomsbealingssrøm). We shall here insead sudy he case where he predefined paymen sream consiss of a lump sum paymen sumbealing) a ime n only. Thus, he problem can be formalized by ma E π γ X n)γ, )

The ordinary differenial equaion for g ) becomes g ) = rg ). Wrie down an eplici soluion g ) and give an inerpreaion. 4 Deermine he opimal amoun invesed in socks and eplain how he invesmen porfolio can be said o consis of a par hedging y and a residual par invesed according o a fied proporion α r in he risky asse. γ σ 2 2

In his case he value funcion is defined by V, s, ) = ma E π γ and he Bellman equaion becomes V, s, ) = min π V n, s, ) = γ h s))γ.

Wha are he erminal condiions for f n) and g n, s)? The parial differenial equaion for g, s) becomes g, s) = rg, s) rsg s, s) 2 σ2 s 2 g ss, s). Wrie down a sochasic represenaion formula for g, s) and give an inerpreaion recall maerial in financial mahemaics). Wha can you now say abou he opimal porfolio found in 5? Problem 2 In his problem we sudy opimal dividend payous for a emporary life annuiy ophørende livrene). The benefis are paid for by a single premium indskud) a ime and run by he rae of from ime unil ime n or deah whichever occurs firs. Deah a ime occurs by he inensiy µ ). The free 3

The insurance company wishes o pay ou he free reserves so as o maimize epeced power uiliy of he epeced dividend payous. We formalize he problem described above by he dynamics of he free reserves dx ) = rx ) d I ) δ ) d, X ) =, and he opimizaion problem ma E δ γ I ) δ )γ d. Here I ) indicaes he annuian being alive a ime. Since all dividend paymens sop upon deah he only value funcion of ineres is he value funcion for he annuian being alive. This value funcion reads V, ) = ma E δ γ I s) δγ ds X ) =, I ) =. Argue, e.g. by reference o On Meron s Problem for Life Insurers ha he Bellman equaion for he problem above is given by V, ) = inf V, ) r δ) δ γ δγ + µ ) V, ). 4) 2 Solve he opimizaion problem given above, i.e. specify he value funcion V, ), he opimal conrol δ, and he ime dependen funcion f appearing in he value funcion. You can eiher solve direcly on he basis of 4) or refer o formulas in On Meron s Problem for Life Insurers or boh o double-check.

Hin: noe ha for all µ, for n, such ha Ñ n) =.almos surely.). f) Show ha oherwise he epeced presen value of fuure dividends is less han. Now we eend he model in which he life annuiy is consruced such ha a disabiliy sae invalideilsand) is inroduced. The disabiliy inensiy is denoed by σ whereas he moraliy inensiy from he sae disabled is denoed by ν. The moraliy inensiy from he sae acive is he µ given above. We assume ha ν > µ. The recovery inensiy rehabilieringsinensie), i.e. he inensiy for going from disabled o acive, is. The life annuiy is sill paid ou as long as he insured is alive independenly of his sae of healh. 5 Define he value funcions V a, ) and V i, ) corresponding o he wo saes acive and disabled. Wrie down he sysem of Bellman equaions for V a, ) and V i, ). The soluions can be wrien as V a, ) = γ f a ) γ γ and V i, ) = γ f i ) γ γ, respecively. Wrie down he opimal conrols δ a, ) and δ i, ) in erms of he funcions f a and f i. 6 Assume ha γ = corresponding o logarihmic uiliy). Wrie down he ordinary differenial equaions for f a and f i and show ha f a ) f i ). Hin: Form he derivaive f a ) f i )). Conclude ha δa,) δi,) and inerpre his observaion. Again we can calculae he epeced presen value of fuure dividends. We need he dynamics of he opimally conrolled free reserves 5
