3 Homoheic forward performance processes and ergodic and infinie horizon quadraic BSDE

4 The sochasic facor model W = (W 1,, W d ) T is a d-dimensional BM on (Ω, F, F = (F ) 0, P) The marke consiss of a riskless bond wih price 1 and n socks S = (S 1,, S n ) T ds/s i i = b i (V )d + σ i (V )dw d = b i (V )d + σ ij (V )dw j j=1 The d-dim process V = (V 1,, V d ) T models sochasic facors dv = η(v )d + ΣdW Predicabiliy models (Review aricle, Z. (2009))

5 Assumpions The vecor b(v) = (b 1 (v),, b n (v)) T, and he volailiy marix σ(v) = (σ ij (v)) 1 i n,1 j d are uniformly bounded for v R d, and moreover, he volailiy marix σ(v) has full row rank n. Then, he marke price of risk equaion σ(v)θ(v) = b(v) admis a soluion θ(v) = σ(v) T [σ(v)σ(v) T ] 1 b(v) The marke price of risk θ(v) is uniformly bounded and Lipschiz coninuous for v R d The drif of he sochasic facor η(v) saisfies he dissipaive condiion (η(v) η( v)) T (v v) C η v v 2 for a posiive large enough consan C η. Hence, V v V v 2 e 2Cη v v 2 The volailiy marix of he sochasic facor is consan wih Σ = 1 and ΣΣ T is uniformly ellipic

6 Wealh and admissible sraegies The wealh equaion is where dx π = X π π T (b(v )d + σ(v )dw ) = X π π T (θ(v )d + dw ) π T = π T σ(v ) Admissible sraegies in he rading inerval [, s] A [,s] = { (π u) u [,s] π L 2 BMO[, s], π u Π, and X π u D } where Π R d is closed and convex, D he wealh admissibiliy domain and L 2 BMO[, s] = { (π u) u [,s] : π is F-progressively measurable and { ( s ) } ess sup E π u 2 du Fτ for any F-sopping ime τ [, s] < } τ τ For A [0, ), i means π L 2 BMO[0, ] for any 0

7 The classical expeced uiliy The key ingrediens are he choices of he rading horizon [0, T ] and he invesor s uiliy u T (x) a T The objecive is o maximize he expeced uiliy of erminal wealh over he admissible sraegies: u(x, ; T ) = ess sup π A [,T ] E P (u T (X π T ) F, X = x) If u T (x) is power, log or exponenial, hen he value process u(x, ; T ) and he opimal sraegy can be characerized in erms of he soluion o a quadraic BSDE defined on [0, T ]; see, El Karoui and Rouge (2000), Hu e al (2005), Mania and Schweizer (2005),... For Markovian cases, see Z. (1999), Pham (2002),...

8 Quadraic BSDE Le u T (x) = xδ δ (2005)), for 0 < δ < 1, and D = R+. Then, (Hu e al. u(x, ; T ) = xδ (T ) δ ey and he opimal sraegy is given by π = P roj Π Z (T ) + θ(v ) (1 δ) where (Y (T ), Z (T ) ) is he unique bounded soluion of he quadraic BSDE dy (T ) = F (V, Z (T ) )d + (Z (T ) ) T dw wih Y (T ) T = 0 and he driver F (, ) is given by } + 1 δ 2 1 δ z+θ(v ) z 2 F (V, z) = 1 2 δ(1 δ)dis2 { Π, z + θ(v ) 1 δ

9 Quadraic BSDE (con d) Condiions on he coefficiens: and F (v, z) F (v, z) C z (1 + z + z ) z z F (v, 0) K Kobylanski (2001) shows ha here exiss a unique Markov soluion (Y (T ), Z (T ) ), Y (T ) = y(v, ; T ), wih y(, ; T ) being uniformly bounded I can be shown ha y(v, ; T ) solves y (v, ; T ) Trace(ΣΣT D 2 y(v, ; T )) + η(v) T Dy(v, ; T ) wih y(v, T ; T ) = 0 + F (v, Σ T Dy(v, ; T )) = 0,

10 The forward performance process

11 The forward performance process Musiela and Z. (2003),... Definiion A forward performance process is an F-progressively measurable process U(x, ) such ha for any 0, he map x U(x, ) is sricly increasing and sricly concave for x D for any admissible sraegy π A [0, ) and for any 0 s < U(X π, ) E P (U(X π s, s) F ) and here exiss an opimal sraegy π A [0, ) such ha ( ) U(X π, ) = E P U(Xs π, s) F

12 The forward performance SPDE Suppose ha he SPDE du(x, ) = b(x, )d + a(x, ) T dw admis an F-progressively measurable soluion U(x, ), which is, for 0, sricly increasing, sricly concave and smooh in x, and saisfies cerain inegrabiliy condiions, where he drif F (x, ) is given by b(x, ) = 1 { 2 x 2 xx U(x, )dis 2 Π, } xa(x, ) + θ(v ) x U(x, ) x xx U(x, ) + xa(x, ) + θ(v ) x U(x, ) 2 2 xx U(x, ) Then U(x, ) is a forward performance process. In general, solving he above fully nonlinear ill-posed SPDE is a formidable ask; see El Karoui and M rad (2013a, 2013b), Nadochiy and Z. (2013), Nadochiy and Tehranchi (2014)

13 Time monoone case and no rading consrains If a(x, ) 0, he SPDE reduces o du(x, ) = 1 2 θ(v ) 2 U x(x, 2 ) U xx (x, ) d ( Then U(x, ) = u x, ) 0 θ(v ) s 2 ds where u (x, ) = 1 u 2 x(x, ) 2 u xx (x, ) The solvabiliy of he above PDE is closely relaed o he ill-posed hea equaion h (x, ) h xx(x, ) = 0 The key ingredien is Widder s heorem; see, Musiela and Z. (2010), Berrier e al. (2009)

14 Homoheic forward performance processes

15 The power forward performance case U(x, ) = xδ δ ek where 0 < δ < 1, K is F-measurable and independen of x For he Markovian case, U(x, ) = xδ δ ek(v,), one needs o find K(v, ) ha solves K (v, ) Trace(ΣΣT D 2 K(v, )) +η(v) T DK(v, ) + F (v, Σ T DK(v, )) = 0 In a special (one dimensional) case, a similar equaion was sudied in Nadochiy and Z. (2013), and in higher dimensions in Nadochiy and Tehranchi (2014)

16 Represenaion via ergodic quadraic BSDE

17 Ergodic quadraic BSDE represenaion (Liang-Z.) Consider he ergodic quadraic BSDE wih dy = ( F (V, Z ) + λ)d + Z T dw F (V, Z ) = 1 { 2 δ(1 δ)dis2 Π, Z } + θ(v ) 1 δ + 1 δ 2 1 δ Z + θ(v ) Z 2 The equaion admis a unique Markovian soluion in he sense ha Y = y(v ) for some funcion y( ) wih linear growh, and Z The uniqueness refers o he uniqueness of λ. Cv C η C v

18 Ergodic quadraic BSDE represenaion (con d) The process U(x, ) = xδ δ ey λ is a power forward performance process and saisfies he forward SPDE du(x, ) = U(x, )( F (V, Z ) Z 2 )d + U(x, )Z T dw The opimal sraegy is given by π = Proj Π Z + θ(v ) (1 δ)

19 Examples

20 Time-monoone case wihou rading consrains In he ergodic BSDE, le Z = 0. Then, for (Y, λ) such ha, ( dy = 1 ) δ 2 1 δ θ(v ) 2 + λ d yields he soluion Y λ = Y δ 2 1 δ θ(v s) 2 ds Then U(x, ) = xδ δ ey λ = xδ 1 δ δ ey δ θ(vs) 2 ds is he familiar ime monoone power forward performance process. The opimal sraegy is π = θ(v ) 1 δ

21 Markovian case wihou rading consrains Le Y = y(v ) be he Markovian soluion. If y( ) has enough regulariy, Iô s formula yields ( ) 1 dy(v ) = 2 Trace(ΣΣT D 2 y(v )) + η(v) T Dy(V ) d + (Σ T Dy(V )) T dw Then, Z = Σ T Dy(V ) and (y( ), λ) solves, a leas formally, he ergodic PDE 1 2 Trace(ΣΣT D 2 y(v)) + η(v) T Dy(v) + F (v, Σ T Dy(v)) = λ The funcion K(v, ) = y(v) λ solves he ime-reversed PDE K (v, ) Trace(ΣΣT D 2 K(v, )) + η(v) T DK(v, ) + F (v, Σ T D(v, )) = 0

22 Verificaion

23 Idea of he proof Need o show ha for any π A [0, ), and 0 s <, and for some π, ( (X π s E δ ( (X π E s ) δ ) e Ys λs F δ ) δ e Ys λs F ) (Xπ ) δ e Y λ δ = (Xπ ) δ e Y λ δ Iô s formula o (Xs π ) δ on [, s] yields ( s (Xs π ) δ = (X π ) δ exp δ (π Tu θ(v u ) 12 ) π u 2 du + The ergodic quadraic BSDE gives ( s e Ys λs = e Y λ exp F (V u, Z u )du + s s Z T u dw u ) δπ T u dw u )

24 Idea of he proof (con d) Hence, ( s ( (Xs π ) δ e Ys λs = (X π ) δ e Y λ exp δ (π Tu θ(v u ) 12 ) π u 2 ) F (V u, Z u ) du + s (δπ T u + Z T u )dw u ) Take condiional expecaion wih respec o F on boh sides, ( ( s ( E((Xs π ) δ e Ys λs F ) = (X π ) δ e Y λ E exp δ (π Tu θ(v u ) 12 ) π u 2 ) F (V u, Z u ) du + s (δπ T u + Z T u )dw u ) F ) For any admissible sraegy π A [0, ), we define a new probabiliy measure Q Z s = dq ( ) = E (δπu T + Zu T )dw u dp Fs 0 s

25 Idea of he proof (con d) The condiional expecaion on he righ hand side of he above equaion is ( ( s ( ) ) ) E exp F π Zs (V u, Z u ) F (V u, Z u ) du Z F ( s ( ) ) ) = E (exp Q F π (V u, Z u ) F (V u, Z u ) du F, where F π (V, Z ) = 1 2 δ(1 δ) π 2 + δπ T (Z + θ(v )) Z 2 = 1 2 δ(1 δ) π Z + θ(v ) 1 δ For any π A [0, ), F π (V, Z ) F (V, Z ), so δ 2 1 δ Z + θ(v ) Z 2 E((X π s ) δ e Ys λs F ) (X π ) δ e Y λ Take π = Z+θ(V) 1 δ, hen F π (V, Z ) = F (V, Z ) and, in urn, E Q ((X π s ) δ e Ys λs F ) = (X π ) δ e Y λ

26 Solving he ergodic quadraic BSDE

27 Solving he ergodic quadraic BSDE Recall he ergodic quadraic BSDE dy = ( F (V, Z ) + λ)d + Z T dw wih he sochasic facor V dv = η(v ) + ΣdW Condiions on he coefficens F (v, z) F ( v, z) C v (1 + z ) v v and F (v, z) F (v, z) C z (1 + z + z ) z z F (v, 0) K

28 Truncaed ergodic BSDE Define a runcaion funcion: q(z) = min{ z, C v/(c η C v )} z1 {z 0} z Consider he runcaed ergodic BSDE Condiions on he coefficiens: dy = ( F (V, q(z )) + λ)d + Z T dw F (v, q(z)) F ( v, q(z) C ηc v C η C v v v F (v, q(z)) F (v, q( z) C z C η + C v C η C v z z

29 Truncaed ergodic BSDE (con d) If we can prove he runcaed ergodic BSDE admis a soluion (Y, Z, λ) wih Z C v C η Cv hen q(z ) = Z and herefore, (Y, Z, λ) is also a soluion o he ergodic quadraic BSDE The runcaed ergodic BSDE has been solved by Fuhrman, Hu and Tessiore (2009) Perurbaion argumen + Girsanov s ransformaion

30 Represenaion of he power forward performance process via infinie horizon quadraic BSDE

31 Infinie horizon quadraic BSDE Le ρ > 0. The infinie horizon quadraic BSDE on [0, ) dy ρ = ( F (V, Z ρ ) + ρy ρ )d + (Z ρ ) T dw admis a unique Markovian soluion, Y ρ = y ρ (V ), for some funcion y ρ ( ) bounded by K ρ, and Zρ Cv C η C v See Briand and Conforola (2008)

32 Infinie horizon quadraic BSDE represenaion The process U ρ (x, ) = xδ ρ δ ey ρy ρ 0 s ds is a power forward performance process and saisfies du ρ (x, ) = U ρ (x, )( F (V, Z ρ Zρ 2 )d The opimal sraegy is given by +U ρ (x, )(Z ρ ) T dw π = P roj Π Z ρ + θ(v ) (1 δ)

33 Connecion beween he ergodic and he infinie horizon represenaions

34 Connecion beween he ergodic and he infinie horizon represenaions There exiss a subsequence ρ n 0 such ha for a.e. (, ω) R + Ω which is U ρn (x, ) U(x, ) exp Y v,ρn Y v 0,ρn 0 Y v }{{} 0 U ρn (x, ) lim = consan ρ n 0 U(x, ) = Idea of he proof 0 ( exp Y v,ρn exp(y v 0 ρ nyu v,ρn λ) ) du ρ n(y v,ρn u Y v 0,ρn 0 ) du (ρ ny v 0,ρn 0 λ) + Y v 0,ρn 0 }{{} 0 }{{} 0

35 Connecion beween he power classical expeced uiliy and he forward performance process

36 An auxiliary expeced uiliy problem Consider he problem of maximizing erminal expeced uiliy in he presence of a muliplicaive random endowmen e ξ T where u ρ (X, ; T ) = ess sup π A [,T ] E ξ T = 1 δ T 0 ( (X π T e ξ T ) δ ) δ F ρyu ρ,t du for ρ > 0, and Y ρ,(t ) being he soluion of he quadraic BSDE on [0, T ] Y ρ,(t ) = T (F (V u, Zu ρ,(t ) ) ρyu ρ,(t ) )du T (Zu ρ,(t ) ) T dw u

37 Connecion beween he classical and forward seings For each ρ > 0, u ρ (x, ; T ) lim T U ρ = 1 (x, ) for a.e. (, ω) R + Ω Indeed, he resuls of Hu e al (2005) yield u ρ (x, ; T ) = xδ (T ) δ ey, where Y (T ) is he unique bounded soluion of he quadraic BSDE on [0, T ] Y (T ) = δξ + T F (V u, Z u (T ) )du T ( On he oher hand, Y ρ,(t ) ) ρ,(t ) ρy 0 u du, Z ρ,(t ) he (erminal horizon) quadraic BSDE. Therefore, and Y (T ) = Y ρ,(t ) ( u ρ (x, ; T ) = xδ δ exp Y ρ,(t ) 0 ρyu ρ,(t ) du 0 (Z u (T ) ) T dw u ) ρyu ρ,(t ) du also saisfies

38 Connecion beween he backward and forward uiliy maximizaion Therefore, u ρ (x, ; T ) U ρ (x, ) = exp Y ρ,t (con d) Y ρ } {{ } 0 (ρy ρ,t 0 } u ρyu ρ ) du {{} 0 Finally, for a.e. (, ω) R + Ω lim lim u ρn (x, ; T ) ρ n 0 T U(x, ) = lim ρn 0 lim T u ρn (x, ; T ) U ρn (x, ) = consan U ρn (x, ) U(x, )

39 Remarks Ergodic quadraic BSDE and infinie horizon quadraic BSDE are naural candidaes for he represenaion of power/log/exponenial forward performance processes Forward performance process moivaes he sudy of non-unique soluions of he BSDE The unique Markovian soluion of he BSDE gives Markovian forward performance process In he presence of a random endowmen, he classical value processes converge o he forward ones as he rading horizon becomes infinie

40 Homoheic forward uiliies under Knighian uncerainy

41 Knighian uncerainy (model ambiguiy) Frank Knigh (1921) The hisorical measure P migh no be a priori known Gilboa and Schmeidler (1989) buil an axiomaic approach for preferences owards boh risk and model ambiguiy. They proposed he robus uiliy form X π T inf Q Q E Q (U (X π T )), where U is a classical uiliy funcion and Q a family of subjecive probabiliy measures Sandard criicism: he above crierion allows for very limied, if a all, differeniaion of models wih respec o heir plausibiliy

42 Knighian uncerainy Maccheroni, Marinacci and Rusichini (2006) exended he above approach o X π T inf Q Q (E Q (U (X π T )) + γ (Q)) where he funcional γ (Q) serves as a penalizaion weigh o each Q-marke model Enropic penaly and enropic robus uiliy dq γ (Q) = H (Q P) wih H (Q P) = dp ln ( dq dp ( ) inf (E Q (U (XT π )) + γ (Q)) = ln E P e U(X T ) Q Q Hansen, Talay, Schied, Föllmer, Frielli, Weber... ) dp
