Robust Consumption Portfolio Optimization with Stochastic Differential Utility

Optimization and Control 2021-03-09 v1

Abstract

This paper examines a continuous time intertemporal consumption and portfolio choice problem with a stochastic differential utility preference of Epstein-Zin type for a robust investor, who worries about model misspecification and seeks robust decision rules. We provide a verification theorem which formulates the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equation under a non-Lipschitz condition. Then, with the verification theorem, the explicit closed-form optimal robust consumption and portfolio solutions to a Heston model are given. Also we compare our robust solutions with the non-robust ones, and the comparisons shown in a few figures coincide with our common sense.
