Creator Hong-Chih Huang
 
Description Recently, Asset liability management gains more attentions. Asset allocation has become a critical issue in financial institution. Conventionally, literatures of portfolio selections mainly focus on the issue of single-period. However, it is not appropriate to hedge a long-term liability by the means of single-period investment strategy. The main purpose of this paper is to find optimal multi-period dynamic hedging strategies which minimize the riskiness of the investment portfolio relative to the equity-linked liability. Theoretical optimal solution is obtained by the backward method of risk-minimizing hedging strategy. This paper finds that matching is concerned with the selection of assets which most closely resemble the liability cash flows, whereas multi-period optimal asset allocation is concerned with selection of assets which attain an optimal level of risk.
Key words: multi-period asset allocation, dynamic hedging, backward method
