Abstract

This paper considers pricing equity-linked notes (ELN) portfolio and related portfolio optimization. ELNs are the derivative instruments which can be viewed as bonds with floating coupons. The floating coupon is represented in terms of an embedded option that depends on the behavior of a certain underlying asset or a basket of them. We provide the new optimization problem by hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (HARA) utility function approach. We obtain the solution of this problem in terms of a dynamic programming equation.
