Theories of finance offer little practical guidance in constructing such asset allocations however. This research integrates simulation models with a newly developed evolutionary algorithm for the multi-period asset allocation problem of a property–casualty insurer. We first construct a simulation model to simulate operations of a property–casualty insurer. Then we develop multi-phase evolution strategies (MPES) to be used with the simulation model to search for promising asset allocations for the insurer. A thorough experiment is conducted to evaluate the performance of our simulation optimization approach. Computational results show that MPES is an effective search algorithm. It dominates the grid search method by a significant margin. The re-allocation strategy resulting from MPES outperforms re-balancing strategies significantly. This research further demonstrates that the simulation optimization approach can be used to study economic issues related to multi-period asset allocation problems in practical settings. | 關聯: | European Journal of Operational Research, 207(1), 499-507 | 資料來源: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2010.04.012 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejor.2010.04.012 |
