Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of illiquid assets, such as human wealth or a family owned business, complicates the problem of portfolio choice. This paper is concerned with the problem of optimal asset allocation and consumption in a continuous time model when one asset cannot be traded. This illiquid asset, which depends on an uninsurable source of risk, provides a liquid dividend. In the case of human capital we can think about this dividend as labor income. The agent is endowed with a given amount of the illiquid asset and with some liquid wealth which can be allocated in a market where there is a risky and a riskless asset. The main point of the paper is that the optimal allocations to the two liquid assets and consumption will critically depend on the endowment and characteristics of the illiquid asset, in addition to the preferences and to the liquid holdings held by the agent. We provide what we believe to be the first analytical solution to this problem when the agent has power utility of consumption and terminal wealth. We also derive the value that the agent assigns to the illiquid asset. The risk adjusted valuation procedure we develop can be used to value both liquid and illiquid assets, as well as contingent claims on those assets.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze a model of optimal consumption and portfolio selection in which consumption services are generated by holding a durable good. The durable good is illiquid in that a transaction cost must be paid when the good is sold. It is shown that optimal consumption is not a smooth function of wealth; it is optimal for the consumer to wait until a large change in wealth occurs before adjusting his consumption. As a consequence, the consumption based capital asset pricing model fails to hold. Nevertheless, it is shown that the standard, one factor, market portfolio based capital asset pricing model does hold in this environment. It is shown that the optimal durable level is characterized by three numbers (not random variables), say x, y, and z (where x

Book excerpt: We present a model of optimal allocation over liquid and illiquid assets, where illiquidity is the restriction that an asset cannot be traded for intervals of uncertain duration. Illiquidity leads to increased and state-dependent risk aversion, and reduces the allocation to both liquid and illiquid risky assets. Uncertainty about the length of the illiquidity interval, as opposed to a deterministic non-trading interval, is a primary determinant of the cost of illiquidity. We allow market liquidity to vary from `normal' periods, when all assets are fully liquid, to 'illiquidity crises,' when some assets can only be traded infrequently. The possibility of a liquidity crisis leads to limited arbitrage in normal times. Investors are willing to forego 2% of their wealth to hedge against illiquidity crises occurring once every ten years.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze a model of optimal consumption and portfolio selection in which consumption services are generated by holding a durable good. The durable good is illiquid in that a transaction cost must be paid when the good is sold. It is shown that optimal consumption is not a smooth function of wealth; it is optimal for the consumer to wait until a large change in wealth occurs before adjusting his consumption. As a consequence, the consumption based capital asset pricing model fails to hold. Nevertheless, it is shown that the standard, one factor, market portfolio based capital asset pricing model does hold in this environment. It is shown that the optimal durable level is characterized by three numbers (not random variables), say x, y, and z (where x lt; y lt; z). The consumer views the ratio of consumption to wealth (c/W) as his state variable. If this ratio is between x and z, then he does not sell the durable. If c/W is less than x or greater than z, then he sells his durable and buys a new durable of size S so that S/W = y. Thus y is his quot;targetquot; level of c/W. If the stock market moves up enough so that c/W falls below x, then he sells his small durable to buy a larger durable. However, there will be many changes in the value of his wealth for which c/W stays between x and z, and thus consumption does not change. Numerical simulations show that small transactions costs can make consumption changes occur very infrequently. Further, the effect of transactions costs on the demand for risky assets is substantial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic finance has had a remarkable impact on many financial services. Yet long-term investors have received curiously little guidance from academic financial economists. Mean-variance analysis, developed almost fifty years ago, has provided a basic paradigm for portfolio choice. This approach usefully emphasizes the ability of diversification to reduce risk, but it ignores several critically important factors. Most notably, the analysis is static; it assumes that investors care only about risks to wealth one period ahead. However, many investors—-both individuals and institutions such as charitable foundations or universities—-seek to finance a stream of consumption over a long lifetime. In addition, mean-variance analysis treats financial wealth in isolation from income. Long-term investors typically receive a stream of income and use it, along with financial wealth, to support their consumption. At the theoretical level, it is well understood that the solution to a long-term portfolio choice problem can be very different from the solution to a short-term problem. Long-term investors care about intertemporal shocks to investment opportunities and labor income as well as shocks to wealth itself, and they may use financial assets to hedge their intertemporal risks. This should be important in practice because there is a great deal of empirical evidence that investment opportunities—-both interest rates and risk premia on bonds and stocks—-vary through time. Yet this insight has had little influence on investment practice because it is hard to solve for optimal portfolios in intertemporal models. This book seeks to develop the intertemporal approach into an empirical paradigm that can compete with the standard mean-variance analysis. The book shows that long-term inflation-indexed bonds are the riskless asset for long-term investors, it explains the conditions under which stocks are safer assets for long-term than for short-term investors, and it shows how labor income influences portfolio choice. These results shed new light on the rules of thumb used by financial planners. The book explains recent advances in both analytical and numerical methods, and shows how they can be used to understand the portfolio choice problems of long-term investors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional models of portfolio choice assume that investors can continuously trade unlimited amounts of securities. In reality, investors face liquidity constraints. We analyze a model where investors are restricted to trading strategies that are of bounded variation. An investor facing this type of illiquidity behaves very differently from an unconstrained investor. A liquidity-constrained investor endogenously acts as if he faced borrowing and short-selling constraints, and may take riskier positions than in liquid markets. We solve for the shadow cost of illiquidity and show that large price discounts can be sustained in a rational model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the formalization of asset allocation in 1952 with the publication of Portfolio Selection by Harry Markowitz, there have been great strides made to enhance the application of this groundbreaking theory. However, progress has been uneven. It has been punctuated with instances of misleading research, which has contributed to the stubborn persistence of certain fallacies about asset allocation. A Practitioner's Guide to Asset Allocation fills a void in the literature by offering a hands-on resource that describes the many important innovations that address key challenges to asset allocation and dispels common fallacies about asset allocation. The authors cover the fundamentals of asset allocation, including a discussion of the attributes that qualify a group of securities as an asset class and a detailed description of the conventional application of mean-variance analysis to asset allocation.. The authors review a number of common fallacies about asset allocation and dispel these misconceptions with logic or hard evidence. The fallacies debunked include such notions as: asset allocation determines more than 90% of investment performance; time diversifies risk; optimization is hypersensitive to estimation error; factors provide greater diversification than assets and are more effective at reducing noise; and that equally weighted portfolios perform more reliably out of sample than optimized portfolios. A Practitioner's Guide to Asset Allocation also explores the innovations that address key challenges to asset allocation and presents an alternative optimization procedure to address the idea that some investors have complex preferences and returns may not be elliptically distributed. Among the challenges highlighted, the authors explain how to overcome inefficiencies that result from constraints by expanding the optimization objective function to incorporate absolute and relative goals simultaneously. The text also explores the challenge of currency risk, describes how to use shadow assets and liabilities to unify liquidity with expected return and risk, and shows how to evaluate alternative asset mixes by assessing exposure to loss throughout the investment horizon based on regime-dependent risk. This practical text contains an illustrative example of asset allocation which is used to demonstrate the impact of the innovations described throughout the book. In addition, the book includes supplemental material that summarizes the key takeaways and includes information on relevant statistical and theoretical concepts, as well as a comprehensive glossary of terms.

Book excerpt: Modern Portfolio Theory is a single-period model developed for the efficient securities market, in which asset prices are implicitly assumed to follow a random walk. It is widely agreed that real estate does not fit into the efficient market paradigm; however, mixed-asset portfolio analysis continues to rely on Modern Portfolio Theory. This paper proposes an alternative model that extends the Modern Portfolio Theory to accommodate multi-period utility maximization as well as the unique characteristics of real estate such as liquidity risk, horizon-dependence of real estate returns and high transaction cost. The model is easy to be implemented. Using real world data, it demonstrates the optimal allocation to real estate in the mixed-asset portfolio is quite in line with the reality of institutional portfolios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a companion paper where we proposed a model of a financial institution that can invest in both liquid and illiquid assets and whose goal is to maximize the profit of its shareholders, while satisfying some capital and liquidity requirements, we now incorporate correlations between the liquid and illiquid asset. This constitutes an intermediate step in an ongoing study whose purpose is to clarify the mechanisms involved in bank regulations. We find that the strength and direction of the linear correlation relationship does not affect the optimal portfolio weights but influences the outcomes for both the shareholders and debt holders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study two important generalizations of dynamic portfolio choice problems: a portfolio choice problem with market impact costs and a portfolio choice problem under the Hidden Markov Model. In the first problem, we allow the presence of market impact and illiquidity. Illiquidity and market impact refer to the situation where it may be costly or difficult to trade a desired quantity of assets over a desire period of time. In this work, we formulate a simple model of dynamic portfolio choice that incorporates liquidity effects. The resulting problem is a stochastic linear quadratic control problem where liquidity costs are modeled as a quadratic penalty on the trading rate. Though easily computable via Riccati equations, we also derive a multiple time scale asymptotic expansion of the value function and optimal trading rate in the regime of vanishing market impact costs. This expansion reveals an interesting but intuitive relationship between the optimal trading rate for the illiquid problem and the classical Merton model for dynamic portfolio selection in perfectly liquid markets. It also gives rise to the notion of a liquidity time scale. Furthermore, the solution to our illiquid portfolio problem shows promising performance and robustness properties. In the second problem, we study dynamic portfolio choice problems under regime switching market. We assume the market follows the Hidden Markov Model with unknown transition probabilities and unknown observation statistics. The main difficulty of this dynamic programming problem is its high-dimensional state variables. The joint probability density function of the hidden regimes and the unknown quantities is part of the state variables, and this makes the problem suffer from the curse of dimensionality. Though the problem cannot be solved by any standard fashions, we propose approximate methods that tractably solve the problem. The key is to approximate the value function by that of a simpler problem where the regime is not hidden and the parameters are observable (the C-problem). This approximation allows the optimal portfolio to be computed in a semi-explicit way. The approximate solution shares the same structure with the solution of C-problem, but at the same time it provides clear insight into the unobservable extension. In addition, the performance of the proposed methods is reasonably close to the upper-bound obtained from the information relaxation problem.
