Strictly monotone mean-variance preferences with applications to portfolio selection

The monotone mean-variance (MMV) preference proposed by Maccheroni, et al. (Math. Finance 19(3): 487-521, 2009) fails to differentiate strictly dominant payoffs, which may cause inconsistency in portfolio decision-making. This paper introduces a broader class of strictly monotone mean-variance (SMMV

Equilibrium strategies for stochastic control problems with higher-order moments and applications to portfolio selection

In this paper we derive a novel characterization result for time-consistent stochastic control problems with higher-order moments, originally formulated by Wang et al. [SIAM J. Control. Optim., 63 (2025), 1560–1589], and newly explore many solvable instances including a mean-variance-excess kurtosi

On stochastic control problems with higher-order moments

In this paper, we focus on a class of time-inconsistent stochastic control problems, where the objective function includes the mean and several higher-order central moments of the terminal value of state. To tackle the time-inconsistency, we seek both the closed-loop and the open-loop Nash equilibri
