Dynamic allocation: extremes, tail dependence, and regime Shifts

By capturing outliers, volatility clustering, and tail dependence in the asset return distribution, we build a sophisticated model to predict the downside risk of the global financial market. We further develop a dynamic regime switching model that can forecast real-time risk regime of the market. O

Equilibrium Portfolio Selection under Utility-Variance Analysis of Log Returns in Incomplete Markets

This paper investigates a time-inconsistent portfolio selection problem in the incomplete mar ket model, integrating expected utility maximization with risk control. The objective functional balances the expected utility and variance on log returns, giving rise to time inconsistency and motivating t

Retirement Planning with Minimum Guarantees for Both Beneficiaries and Fund Managers

This article studies a retirement planning problem from a new perspective in which a retiree delegates an initial lump sum to a professional fund manager. The fund is managed dynamically to deliver lifelong benefits while satisfying a guarantee that, at all times, wealth remains above a prescribed s

Equilibrium Investment with Random Risk Aversion: (Non-)uniqueness, Optimality, and Comparative Statics

This paper studies a continuous-time portfolio selection problem under a general distribution of random risk aversion (RRA). We provide a complete characterization of all deterministic equilibrium strategies in closed form. Our results show that the structure of the solution depends crucially on the

An Integral Equation in Portfolio Selection with Time-Inconsistent Preferences

This paper discusses a nonlinear integral equation arising from portfolio selection with a class of time-inconsistent preferences. We propose a unified framework requiring minimal assumptions, such as right-continuity of market coefficients and square-integrability of the market price of risk. Our m
