Abstract

We solve the optimal portfolio choice problem for an investor who can trade a risk-free asset and a risky asset. The investor faces both Brownian and jump risks and the jump is modeled by a Hawkes process so that occurrence of a jump in the risky asset price triggers more sequent jumps. We obtain the op-timal portfolio by maximizing expectation of a constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) utility function of terminal wealth. The existence and uniqueness of a classical solution to the associated partial differential equation are proved, and the corresponding verification theorem is provided as well. Based on the theoretical results, we develop a numerical monotonic iteration algorithm and present an illustrative numerical example.

1. Introduction

Empirical studies suggest that asset price encounters jumps and its volatility is stochastic. Further studies show that jumps occur in clusters, that is, a sequence of jumps occur in short time following a (big) jump which occurs after a rela-tively long quiet period of time. The feature of clustered jumps can be caught by a type of stochastic process known as Hawkes process. In this paper, we model occurrence of jumps by a Hawkes process hence our model is an extension of well-known jump-diffusion models, e.g. [1]. Meanwhile, we assume that such Hawkes jumps may occur in asset price itself as well as in its volatility. As a re-sult, our model merges with the vast literature of stochastic volatility.

The contributions of the present paper are twofold. First, we solve the optimal investment problem and prove a verification result for a CRRA utility while [2]

solves for a logarithm utility function. They do discuss the CRRA case but leave proofs to some references. However, our work shows that it is highly non-trivial to prove the existence and uniqueness of a classic solution to the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, which is essential for solving the op-timal portfolio choice problem and implementing numerical methods. Second, our model may incorporate stochastic volatility or stochastic risk premium. Thus it shall be powerful to explain more financial phenomena, e.g. flight-to-quality, under-diversification, and possibly disclose more economic insights.

Technically, in the strand of the relevant literature, [3] introduces an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) type process of subordinator to model volatility. Af-ter that, there are several works about optimal portfolio selection in a model with OU type processes of subordinators. For example, [4] solves the portfolio choice problem in a model where volatility is a linear combination of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type processes of subordinators. [5] solves the optimal in-vestment and consumption problem in a similar model where a state variable (economic factor) is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type process of subordinator. They deal with a more general model, compared to [4]. As a result, they arrive at a nonlinear partial integro-differential equation, instead of a linear one in the lat-ter. In both of these two papers, there are no jump components in the dynamics of asset prices. In stark contrast to the literature we incorporate jumps in the as-set price in the present paper and hence confront a new/different challenge (if not more difficult) when we solve the optimal portfolio choice problem.

In our general setting, the volatility is a function of the state variable (the jump intensity) following a Hawkes process. Hence the present paper may com-bine two strands of research: modeling volatility by an OU type of process of subordinator and modeling jumps by Hawkes processes together. There are sev-eral papers studying the case where there are jumps in volatilities, e.g. [5], etc., while the present paper considers jumps in both of asset price and volatility, and in jump intensity as well. This leads to a more complicated HJB equation than in

[5]. As a result, our model has the features of stochastic volatility and self-exciting, while the optimal investment problem is still solvable in sense of by an iteration method, given that the iteration is proved to converge correctly to the unique classical solution of the problem.

This paper is incremental to the few aforementioned papers and dedicated to solving several technical problems related to CRRA utility functions. Neverthe-less, the literature on portfolio choice is vast and is growing quickly. We would like to refer to some of them, for example, [6], which proposes a semivariance method for diversified portfolio selection; [7], that discusses a portfolio adjusting problem. The both assume that security returns are subject to experts’ estima-tions.

timal portfolio choice problem in Section 2. The Hawkes process is introduced in this section. In Section 3, we analyze the HJB equation. The existence and un-iqueness of a classical solution to the equation are proved under some appropri-ate conditions. We also prove a verification theorem for the solution in Section 4. Two illustrative examples and one numerical example are provided in Section 5. Conclusion and further discussion are in Section 6. An extension is supplied in Appendix.

2. Problem Formulation

2.1. Hawkes Process for Self-Exciting Jumps

A Hawkes process is a counting process with self-exciting feature. Roughly speaking, it is a compounded Poisson process with stochastic intensity.

Given a complete probability space

(

, a counting process,

{ }

Nt t0, satisfies

here λ is the long-run average of the jump intensity corresponding to the

jump;

α >

is the decay rate driving the jump intensity back to the long-run average before a jump occurs; β ≥0 is a constant indicating non-negative im-pact of the jump occurrence on the jump intensity.

A jump process

{ }

Nt with the jump intensity described by (2.1) is called a

Hawkes process [8]. It is known that the process is stationary if β 1

α < . A

Hawkes process differs from a doubly stochastic Poisson process since its incre-ments are not independent.

Nt is not Markovian but

and a formal definition of Hawkes process, we refer to [8]. Figure 1 illustrates a sample path of one self-exciting (Hawkes) process.

2.2. Asset Dynamics with Self-Exciting Jumps

We consider a market with a risk-free asset (bond) and a risky asset (stock). The price

dBt =rB ttd ,

where r is the risk-free interest rate. The price

Nt is a Hawkes process described in the preceding section,

the jump process and the Brownian motion. To be more precise, we define

are set to be functions of the jump intensity. Given appropriate conditions about the mappings (e.g. monotonic mappings), we may write

λ λ σ

µ µ σ

is compatible with many models studied in stochastic volatility literature.

admissible if the associated wealth process is non-negative almost surely. The jump size Yt, in particular, is assumed to take a form of eZt −1, where Zt is a

Gaussian random variable. This setting is popularly admitted in the literature of jump-diffusion model. See, for example, the seminal paper of [1]. As a result, an admissible strategy π shall satisfy the constraint 0≤πt ≤1. Thus, shorting

either stock or bond is not permitted. This constraint condition may be relaxed1

according to distribution and support set of a specific jump size Yt. We denote

all admissible strategies by .

An optimal investment strategy is a strategy that maximizes the expected util-ity of the terminal wealth. That is, the objective of an investor is to find V and

case of p<0 regardless of an amount of efforts. The case of logarithm utility

(corresponding to p=0) has been studied in [2] while assuming constant vola-tility and risk premium. In Section 5, we will discuss an extension case of loga-rithm utility with stochastic volatility and stochastic risk premium, as an appli-cation of our general results.

The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the above sto-chastic optimization problem can be derived as

There are several papers studying the case where there are jumps in volatilities, e.g. [5]. Different from only jumps in volatility, our model incorporates jumps in both of asset price and volatility, and in jump intensity as well. It is worth to mention that the HJB Equation (2.5) is more complicated than that in [5]. The framework of our model is the same as that in [2], except the setting of utility function. As well-known, CRRA utility functions generally involve much more difficult technical problems than the logarithm utility function.

and Y and show that the HJB Equation (3.2) subject to the initial condition (3.3) and a certain growth condition admits a unique solution. In the next section we prove a verification result showing that the solution obtained solves the optimal investment problem.

For the case of CRRA utility, [2] suggest to prove the existence of a solution by verifying a contracting mapping as [5]. Our attempts show that it is not a trivial task to do that, instead, we use a different analytic method to accomplish the mission.

Intuitively, the assumption (3.8) claims that the excess return of the asset will be negative if the jump frequency is high enough. In the literature of jump-diffusion models, the excess return is usually assumed with a compensa-tion of jump risk, see, e.g. [10]. Hence the assumption (3.8) is equivalent to say that

which contradicts the boundedness of H Hˆ . Thus we must have H Hˆ ≤ . Si-milarly, we can show that H H≤ ˆ , so H H= ˆ . This completes the proof.

4. Verification Theorem and Optimality of the Solution

That the optimal investment problem can be solved through the preceding re-sults is based on a verification result which guarantees that the solution to the HJB equation is the value function corresponding to the optimal investment problem.
