Forward Backward SDEs Systems for Utility Maximization in Jump Diffusion Models

Mathematical Finance 2023-02-17 v1 Probability

Abstract

We consider the classical problem of maximizing the expected utility of terminal net wealth with a final random liability in a simple jump-diffusion model. In the spirit of Horst et al. (2014) and Santacroce-Trivellato (2014), under suitable conditions the optimal strategy is expressed in implicit form in terms of a forward backward system of equations. Some explicit results are presented for the pure jump model and for exponential utilities.
