Deep Learning Methods for S Shaped Utility Maximisation with a Random Reference Point

원문 초록

We consider the portfolio optimisation problem where the terminal function is an S-shaped utility applied at the difference between the wealth and a random benchmark process. We develop several numerical methods for solving the problem using deep learning and duality methods. We use deep learning methods to solve the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation for both the primal and dual problems, and the adjoint equation arising from the stochastic maximum principle. We compare the solution of this non-concave problem to that of concavified utility, a random function depending on the benchmark, in both complete and incomplete markets. We give some numerical results for power and log utilities to show the accuracy of the suggested algorithms.
