14.11.2000 - Johannes Leitner: Continuous Time CAPM, Price for Risk,
& Utility Maximization
Abstract:
In a continuous arbitrage free market without a
risk-free bond
the relationship between the minimal martingale measure Q, the
resulting short rate for a locally risk-free bond priced according
to the chosen measure Q, and the implied instantaneous
Sharpe-ratio is considered using a dynamic CAPM approach.
We define locally efficient portfolios and investigate their
relevance for maximizing terminal utility in an incomplete market.
For a totally unhedgeable price for instantaneous risk,
isoelastic utility of terminal wealth can be maximized using a
portfolio consisting of the locally risk-free bond and a locally
efficient fund only. More general, optimal self-financing hedging
strategies can be described using (Forward-) Backward-SDEs. We
derive the relationship between the optimal portfolio, the optimal
martingale measure in the dual problem and the optimal value
function of the problem. In a markovian market model we find a
non-linear PDE for the value function. From the solution we can
construct under additional assumptions the optimal portfolio and
the solution of the dual problem. Furthermore, we find the
intertemporal price for risk relative to the locally risk-free
bond to equal the standard deviation of the variance optimal
martingale measure. In a market with zero bonds, the absolute
intertemporal price for risk is related to the discounted variance
optimal martingale measure and the zero bond prices.
