Abstract:

This paper investigates an optimal investment problem faced by a defined contribution (DC) pension fund manager under inflationary risk. It is assumed that a representative member of a DC pension plan contributes a fixed share of his salary to the pension fund during the finite time horizon [0, T]. The pension contributions are invested continuously in a risk-free bond, an index bond and a stock. The objective is to maximize the expected utility of terminal value of the pension fund. By solving this investment problem we present a way to deal with the optimization problem, in case there is a (positive) endowment (or contribution), using the martingale method.
