报告摘要:
This paper provides a derivative-based optimal investment strategy for an ambiguity averse pension investor who faces not only risks from time-varying income and market return volatility but also uncertainty of economic condition over a long-time horizon. We derive a robust dynamic derivative strategy and show that the optimal strategy under ambiguity aversion reduces the exposure to market return risk while increases the exposure to stochastic volatility risk, while derivatives can effectively hedge stochastic volatility risk. More importantly, we demonstrate the welfare improvement when considering ambiguity and exploiting derivatives and show that ambiguity aversion and derivatives improve the welfare significantly when return volatility increases, while the improvement becomes more significant under ambiguity aversion over long investment time horizon.
