Abstract

We examine portfolio asset management under safety constraints that control the probability that the portfolio return falls under a given reference level. We extend previous results of Roy (1952) and Kataoka (1963) that have been proved in a one-period setting to both multiperiod discrete-time and continuous-time models. Basic examples illustrate the results.

Keywords: Portfolio optimization, Safety criteria, Quantile hedging
