In this paper, we study the portfolio utility maximization in the case where the risky asset is driven by a Brownian motion and an independent homogeneous Poisson measure, with strategies that may include jump signals. This means that the…

This paper studies an optimal investing problem for a retiree facing longevity risk and living standard risk. We formulate the investing problem as a portfolio choice problem under a time-varying risk capacity constraint. We derive the…
