Abstract

We study the optimal design of financial structured portfolios (equity or index linked notes) within the utility with ambiguity framework. We analyze some of these products with respect to investor’s attitude towards risk, including ambiguity. These financial products usually involve derivative instruments which allow investors to benefit from capital protection and minimal participation when markets are bullish. We provide also a general result about the optimal portfolio profile under ambiguity.

Keywords: portfolio optimization, structured portfolio, ambiguity
