Abstract

‎In this paper‎, ‎we are concerned with the optimization of a dynamic investment portfolio when the securities which follow a multivariate Merton model with dependent jumps are periodically invested and proceed by approximating the Condition-Value-at-Risk (CVaR) by comonotonic bounds and maximize the expected terminal wealth‎. ‎Numerical studies‎, ‎as well as applications of our results to real datasets‎, ‎are also provided‎.
