【IMI Working Paper No. 2205 [EN]】A Model of Delegation with A VaR Constraint
发布日期:2022-02-17来源:【Abstract】
This paper proposes a model of delegated portfolio management, in which professional fund managers face a value-at-risk (VaR) constraint. We show that the existence of the VaR constraint impairs the optimal risk sharing in both the trading and delegation stages. As a result, the VaR constraint leads household investors to take excessive risk and may cause the prices of fundamentally uncorrelated assets to be correlated.
