2 Introduction Classical financial market models : traders as price takers (small investors) continuous trading of unlimited amount (unbounded variation) Violation of these assumptions : large trades move the price of underlying asset (large investor) trading strategies constraints : transaction costs (finite variation strategies) Liquidity risk or illiquid markets 2
3 Various modelisation of liquidity risk : market microstructure literature : asymmetric information and insider trading : Kyle (85), Back (92) transaction costs literature and finite variation strategies : Davis-Norman (90), Jouini-Kallal (91), Longstaff (01) market manipulation literature and price impact : Cuoco-Cvitanic (98), Frey (98), Papanicolaou-Sircar (98), Bank-Baum (04), Cetin-Jarrow-Protter (04). 3
4 Our model adopts both perspectives of transaction costs and market manipulation literature inspired by recent works : Subramanian-Jarrow (01), He-Mamayski (05) Discrete trading (liquidity constraints faced in practice) Trade impact price : Prices are pushed up (resp. moved down) when investors buy (resp. sell) stock shares. Problem of optimal portfolio choice over a finite horizon : Maximize the expected utility from terminal liquidation wealth under an economic solvency constraint. 4
5 1. Model and Problem formulation Uncertainty and information : (Ω, F, (F t ), P), W one-dim BM, [0, T ]. Money market account : constant interest rate r 0 Risky asset price : P = (P t ) t Amount of money (cash holdings) : X = (X t ) t Cumulated number of asset shares : Y = (Y t ) t relevant state variables : Z = (X, Y, P ) 5
6 Liquidity constraints : discrete trading is modelled by an impulse control strategy α = (τ n, ζ n ) n 1 : τ 1... τ n... < T : stopping times representing the intervention times of the investor. No trade at the terminal liquidation date T. ζ n valued in R and F τn -measurable : number of stocks purchased (if ζ n 0) or selled (if ζ n < 0) at time τ n Dynamics of Y : Y s = Y τn, τ n s < τ n+1 Y τn+1 = Y τn + ζ n+1. 6
7 Price impact : positive function Q(y, p) : post-order price when the large investor trades a position of y stock shares at a pre-order price p : Q(., p) is nondecreasing in y Q(y, p) (resp., =) p if y (resp., =) 0 Throughout the paper : Q(y, p) = pe λy, where λ > 0. Transaction cost function θ(y, p) : (algebraic) cost for an investor with a position of y stock shares when pre-trade price is p : θ(y, p) = yq(y, p). Liquidation function l(y, p) : value that an investor would obtained by liquidating immediately his stock position y by a single block trade : l(y, p) = θ( y, p) = yq( y, p). 7
8 Price dynamics : In absence of trading : dp s = P s (bds + σdw s ), τ n s < τ n+1 When a trading (τ n+1, ζ n+1 ) occurs, the price jumps at time τ n+1 by : P τn+1 = Q(ζ n+1, P τ ) n+1 P s := P s P s = Q( Y s, P s ) P s. 8
9 Cash holdings dynamics : In absence of trading : dx s = rx s ds, τ n s < τ n+1 When a trading (τ n+1, ζ n+1 ) occurs, this results in a variation of cash holdings by : X τn+1 = X τ θ(ζ n+1, P n+1 τ ) k n+1 X s := X s X s = θ( Y s, P s ) k. k > 0 fixed cost. 9
10 Liquidation value and solvency constraint : Liquidation net wealth : for a state value z = (x, y, p) R R R +, L(z) = max[x + l(y, p) k, x]1 y 0 + (x + l(y, p) k)1 y<0, When λ = k = 0, L(z) = x + py. Here, L is discontinuous on (x, 0, p), but uppersemicontinuous. Solvency region : S = { z = (x, y, p) R R R + : L(z) > 0}, and its boundary and closure : S = { z = (x, y, p) R R R + : L(z) = 0} and S = S S. 10
11 Admissible controls state constraints : Given an initial state (t, z) [0, T ] S, an impulse control strategy α = (τ n, ζ n ) n is admissible, denoted : α A(t, z), if the associated state process Z = (X, Y, P ) starting from z at t satisfies the solvency constraint : L(Z s ) 0, t s T, i.e. Z s = (X s, Y s, P s ) S, t s T. First question : A(t, z)! 11
12 Optimal investment problem : Utility function U : R + R, increasing, concave, U(0) = 0, U(w) Kw γ, γ [0, 1). Notation : U L (z) = U(L(z)), z S. Value function : v(t, z) = sup E [U L (Z T )], α A(t,z) (t, z) [0, T ] S. Impulse stochastic control problem under state constraint. 12
13 Our main goal : Rigorous PDE characterization of the problem by a viscosity solutions approach Numerical results Related literature on impulse control General theory and link with QVHJBI : Bensoussan-Lions (82), Perthame (85), Oksendal-Sulem (04). Applications in finance : Jeanblanc-Shiryaev (95), Korn (98), Cadenillas- Zapatero (99), Oksendal-Sulem (01) Viscosity approach : Ishii K. (93), Tang-Yong (93) 13
14 2. QVHJBI associated to dynamic programming principle min [ v t ] Lv, v Hv = 0, on [0, T ) S The time-space liquidation solvency region [0, T ) S is divided into A no-trade region NT = {(t, z) [0, T ) S : v(t, z) > Hv(t, z)}, An impulse trade region T = {(t, z) [0, T ) S : v(t, z) = Hv(t, z)}. 14
15 L is the second order local operator : Lϕ = rx ϕ x + bp ϕ p σ2 p 2 2 ϕ p 2. associated to the no-trade diffusion system : dx 0 s dzs 0 = dys 0 dps 0 H is the impulse nonlocal operator : = rx 0 s ds 0 P 0 s (bds + σdw s ) Hϕ(t, z) = sup ϕ(t, Γ(z, ζ)), ζ C(z) with the impulse transaction function associated to jumps of Z : Γ(z, ζ) = (x θ(ζ, p) k, y + ζ, Q(ζ, p)), and the admissible impulse transaction set : C(z) = {ζ R : L(Γ(z, ζ)) 0}.. 15
16 3. First technical difficulties Check that A(t, z). Not trivial due to the shape of the solvency region. Careful analysis of transaction set C(z) for z S. Actually, we have the following picture on the boundary of the solvency region : 16
17 Figure 1: The solvency region when k = 1, = 1 No trade Impulse trade No trade Impulse trade Impulse trade D O D k No trade Figure 2: The solvency region when p < ke Figure 3: The solvency region when p > ke 17
18 Finiteness and bound of the value function! Due to nonlinearity of price impact and transaction function : Q(y, p) = pe λy, θ(y, p) = pye λy, the liquidation net wealth may grow after transaction : L(Γ(z, ζ)) > L(z), for some z S, ζ C(z). We do not have the usual Merton bound as in transaction costs model! Introduce a suitable linearization of the liquidation value : L(z) = x + p λ (1 e λy ). Key (elementary) properties : L(z) L(z) L(Γ(z, ζ)) L(z) k. 18
19 Proposition. The value function v is well-defined on [0, T ] S, and we have 0 v(t, z) v 0 (t, z) := E [ U ( L ( Z 0,t,z where ρ is a positive constant s.t. Ke ρ(t t) L(z) γ ( ( K 1 + x + p λ ) γ ) T ))] G γ ([0, T ] S) ρ > γ 1 γ b 2 + r 2 + σ 2 r(1 γ) σ 2. Remark. Sharp upper bound : when λ 0 (no price impact), we find the Merton bound v(t, z) E[U(X 0,t,x T + yp 0,t,p T )] Ke ρ(t t) (x + py) γ. 19
20 Discontinuity of the value function on the solvency boundary. v is discontinuous on [0, T ) D k and on [0, T ) ( x 1 S + l S). But v is continuous on [0, T ) D 0 : lim (t,z ) (t,z) v(t, z ) = v(t, z) = 0, (t, z) [0, T ) D 0. Terminal condition (discontinuity in T ). Remark : v(t, z) := lim v(t, z) = max [U L (z), HU L (z)]. t T, v(t, z) v(t, z) = U L (z). 20
21 4. Viscosity property No homogeneity of the value function, even for power utility function Solvency region not convex, value function not convex, continuity in S not direct Discontinuous viscosity solutions To handle state constraints related to solvency constraint, we use in fact the concept of constrained viscosity solutions, introduced by Soner (86). 21
22 Theorem. v is a constrained viscosity solution to the QVHJBI : [ min v ] Lv, v Hv = 0, in [0, T ) S (1) t i.e. (i) v is a viscosity supersolution of (1) on [0, T ) S (ii) v is a viscosity subsolution of (1) on [0, T ) S. 22
23 5. Uniqueness result Comparison principle for constrained viscosity solution to the QVHJBI (1) : We can compare a viscosity subsolution to (1) on [0, T ) S to a viscosity supersolution of (1) on [0, T ) S once we can compare them at the terminal date (as usual in parabolic problems) but also on [0, T ) D 0! 23
24 Theorem. Suppose u G γ ([0, T ] S) is an usc viscosity subsolution to (1) in [0, T ) S and w G γ ([0, T ] S) is a lsc viscosity supersolution to (1) in [0, T ) S such that : u(t, z) := Then, lim sup (t, z ) (T, z) t < T, z S u(t, z) lim inf (t, z ) (t, z) w(t, z ), (t, z) [0, T ) D 0, u(t, z ) w(t, z) := lim inf (t, z ) (T, z) t < T, z S w(t, z ), z S. u w on [0, T ] S. Remark. One cannot hope to derive a comparison principle in the whole closed region S since it would imply the continuity of the value function on S, which is not true. 24
25 Corollary. The value function v is continuous on [0, T ) S and is the unique (in [0, T ) S) constrained viscosity solution to (1) lying in G γ ([0, T ] S) and satisfying the boundary condition : and the terminal condition lim (t,z ) (t,z) v(t, z ) = 0, (t, z) [0, T ) D 0, v(t, z) := lim (t, z ) (T, z) t < T, z S v(t, z ) = max [U L (z), HU L (z)], z S. 25
26 Main steps of the proof Step 1. To deal with the impulse obstacle problem in the QVHJBI, produce a suitable perturbation of viscosity supersolution strict viscosity supersolution : Given ν > 0, consider the perturbation smooth function on [0, T ] S : [ ( )] φ ν (t, z) = e ρ (T t) e λy L(z) γ + ν p + pe λy, (2) where ρ is large enough. Let u G γ ([0, T ] S) be a viscosity subsolution and w G γ ([0, T ] S) be a viscosity supersolution. We perturb w by setting : w ε = w + εφ ν, ε > 0. 26
27 Then, lim (u w ε)(t, z) =, z for any ε > 0, and for any compact set K of R R R +, w ε is a strict viscosity supersolution to (1) on [0, T ) K : there exists some constant δ (depending on K) s.t. min holds in the viscosity sense. [ w ] ε t Lw ε, w ε Hw ε δε, in [0, T ) K, 27
28 Step 2. General viscosity solution technique with specificities coming from nonlocal impulse operator boundary conditions : difficulties arising from the nonregularity of the solvency boundary (corners) For the boundary conditions, the idea is to build a smooth test function so that the minimum associated with the supersolution cannot be on the boundary. Remark. The method of Soner (86) does not work here since it requires the continuity of the supersolution on the boundary, which is precisely not the case here! 28
29 Use a method of Barles (93). We (re)define w on [0, T ) S by : w(t, z) = lim inf (t, z ) (t, z) (t, z ) [0, T ) S w(t, z ), (t, z) [0, T ) S, (3) so that w and w m are still lsc on [0, T ] S. Consider (t 0, z 0 ) s.t. (u w ε )(t 0, z 0 ) = max [0,T ] S (u w ε) > 0 ( by contradiction) and suppose from the terminal and boundary conditions that (t 0, z 0 ) [0, T ) S \ D 0. 29
30 By (3), there exists (t n, z n ) n [0, T ) S converging to (t 0, z 0 ) and s.t. w ε (t n, z n ) w ε (t 0, z 0 ) Consider the test function ϕ n (t, t z, z ) = t t 2 t n t 0 + z z 2 z n z 0 + ( d(z ) 4 ) d(z n ) 1, where d(.) is the distance to S, which is smooth C 2 on a neighborhood of z 0 / D 0. Take a maximum (ˆt n, ˆt n, ẑ n, ẑ n) of ϕ n (t, t, z, z ). As usual, ϕ n (ˆt n, ˆt n, ẑ n, ẑ n) 0 so that (ˆt n, ˆt n) (t 0, t 0 ), (ẑ n ẑ n) (z 0, z 0 ) and : d(ẑ n) 1 2 d(z n) > 0, and so ẑ n S. Write the subsolution property of u at (ˆt n, ẑ n ) [0, T ) S, the strict supersolution property of w ε at (ˆt n, ẑ n) [0, T ) S, and apply Ishii s lemma to get the required contradiction. 30
31 6. Further development More general price impact function Q(y, p). Numerical resolution of the QVHJBI characterizing v, e.g. optimal stopping problems (see Chancelier, Oksendal, Sulem 02). by iterated Analyse liquidity effects on optimal portfolio and compare with the case of no price impact. 31
