We study exponential Levy models with change-point which is a random variable, independent from initial Levy processes. On canonical space with initially enlarged filtration we describe all equivalent martingale measures for changepoint model and we give the conditions for the existence of f-minimal equivalent martingale measure. Using the connection between utility maximisation and f -divergence minimisation, we obtain a general formula for optimal strategy in change-point case for initially enlarged filtration and also for progressively enlarged filtration when the utility is exponential. We illustrate our results considering the Black-Scholes model with change-point.
AbstractWe study exponential Levy models with change-point which is a random variable, independent from initial Levy processes. On canonical space with initially enlarged filtration we describe all equivalent martingale measures for changepoint model and we give the conditions for the existence of f-divergence minimal equivalent martingale measure. Using the connection between utility maximisation and f -divergence minimisation, we obtain a general formula for optimal strategy in change-point case for initially enlarged filtration and also for progressively enlarged filtration in the case of exponential utility. We illustrate our results considering the Black-Scholes model with change-point.
