Guidelines
Traditional portfolio optimization typically compares the porftolio performance with one benchmark such as the stock market. However, during the market drop, the portfolio may still perfomr favorably well with respect to the market linked benchmark, but the portfolio performance may be unacceptable when measured in monetary terms. Using the techniques of stochastic optimal control, one can characterize trading strategies that are optimal with respect to multiple benchmarks.

This thesis requires to understand and apply modern methods of stochastic calculus, options pricing and stochastic control.
