Continuous-time optimal investment with portfolio constraints: a reinforcement learning approach

In a reinforcement learning (RL) framework, we study the exploratory version of the continuous time expected utility (EU) maximization problem with a portfolio constraint that includes widely-used financial regulations such as short-selling constraints and borrowing prohibition. The optimal feedback

Outperforming a Benchmark with $α$-Bregman Wasserstein divergence

We consider the problem of active portfolio management, where an investor seeks the portfolio with maximal expected utility of the difference between the terminal wealth of their strategy and a proportion of the benchmark’s, subject to a budget and a deviation constraint from the benchmark portfolio

Optimal Investment and Entropy-Regularized Learning Under Stochastic Volatility Models with Portfolio Constraints

We study the problem of optimal portfolio selection under stochastic volatility within a continuous time reinforcement learning framework with portfolio constraints. Exploration is modeled through entropy-regularized relaxed controls, where the investor selects probability distributions over admissi

Pareto and Bowley Reinsurance Games in Peer-to-Peer Insurance

We propose a peer-to-peer (P2P) insurance scheme comprising a risk-sharing pool and a reinsurer. A plan manager determines how risks are allocated among members and ceded to the reinsurer, while the reinsurer sets the reinsurance loading. Our work focuses on the strategic interaction between the pla
