Abstract:

The paper is concerned with continuous time portfolio selection model in a complete Black-Scholes market driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter H>1/2. The objective is to find an admissible portfolio π to minimize the risk measured by below target semi-variance. By the martingale method in Cox and Huang, we derive the optimal terminal wealth and the corresponding optimal investment strategy. Finally, we numerically analyze the properties of Downside risk measure, the result shows that Hurst index H must not be lost sight.

Key words: Downside risk, Fractional Brownian motion, BTSV, Clark-Ocone theorem, Lagrange multiplier
