We study the optimal investment stopping problem in both continuous and discrete case, where the investor needs to choose the optimal trading strategy and optimal stopping time concurrently to maximize the expected utility of terminal wealth. Based on the work [9] with an additional stochastic payoff function, we characterize the value function for the continuous problem via the theory of quadratic reflected backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE for short) with unbounded terminal condition. In regard to discrete problem, we get the discretization form composed of piecewise quadratic BSDEs recursively under Markovian framework and the assumption of bounded obstacle, and provide some useful prior estimates about the solutions with the help of auxiliary forward-backward SDE system and Malliavin calculus. Finally, we obtain the uniform convergence and relevant rate from discretely to continuously quadratic reflected BSDE, which arise from corresponding optimal investment stopping problem through above characterization.

This paper studies an optimal investment problem under M-CEV with power utility function. Using Laplace transform we obtain explicit expression for optimal strategy in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. For obtained representations we derive asymptotic and approximation formulas contains only elementary functions and continued fractions. These formulas allow to make analysis of impact of models parameters and effects of parameters misspecification. In addition we propose some extensions of obtained results that can be applicable for algorithmic strategies.
In this paper, we investigate dynamic optimization problems featuring both stochastic control and optimal stopping in a finite time horizon. The paper aims to develop new methodologies, which are significantly different from those of mixed dynamic optimal control and stopping problems in the existing literature, to study a managers decision. We formulate our model to a free boundary problem of a fully nonlinear equation. Furthermore, by means of a dual transformation for the above problem, we convert the above problem to a new free boundary problem of a linear equation. Finally, we apply the theoretical results to challenging, yet practically relevant and important, risk-sensitive problems in wealth management to obtain the properties of the optimal strategy and the right time to achieve a certain level over a finite time investment horizon.
In this paper, we investigate an interesting and important stopping problem mixed with stochastic controls and a textit{nonsmooth} utility over a finite time horizon. The paper aims to develop new methodologies, which are significantly different from those of mixed dynamic optimal control and stopping problems in the existing literature, to figure out a managers decision. We formulate our model to a free boundary problem of a fully textit{nonlinear} equation. By means of a dual transformation, however, we can convert the above problem to a new free boundary problem of a textit{linear} equation. Finally, using the corresponding inverse dual transformation, we apply the theoretical results established for the new free boundary problem to obtain the properties of the optimal strategy and the optimal stopping time to achieve a certain level for the original problem over a finite time investment horizon.
We study an optimal dividend problem for an insurer who simultaneously controls investment weights in a financial market, liability ratio in the insurance business, and dividend payout rate. The insurer seeks an optimal strategy to maximize her expected utility of dividend payments over an infinite horizon. By applying a perturbation approach, we obtain the optimal strategy and the value function in closed form for log and power utility. We conduct an economic analysis to investigate the impact of various model parameters and risk aversion on the insurers optimal strategy.
We examine Kreps (2019) conjecture that optimal expected utility in the classic Black--Scholes--Merton (BSM) economy is the limit of optimal expected utility for a sequence of discrete-time economies that approach the BSM economy in a natural sense: The $n$th discrete-time economy is generated by a scaled $n$-step random walk, based on an unscaled random variable $zeta$ with mean zero, variance one, and bounded support. We confirm Kreps conjecture if the consumers utility function $U$ has asymptotic elasticity strictly less than one, and we provide a counterexample to the conjecture for a utility function $U$ with asymptotic elasticity equal to 1, for $zeta$ such that $E[zeta^3] > 0.$
