Stochastic maximum principle under probability distortion

Mathematical Finance 2018-08-24 v2 Probability

Abstract

Within the framework of the cumulative prospective theory of Kahneman and Tversky, this paper considers a continuous-time behavioral portfolio selection problem whose model includes both running and terminal terms in the objective functional. Despite the existence of S-shaped utility functions and probability distortions, a necessary condition for optimality is derived. The results are applied to various examples.
