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).

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.
