Abstract

Big data is being generated by everything around us at all times. The massive amount and corresponding data of assets in the financial market naturally form a big data set. In this paper, we tackle the multi-period mean-variance portfolio of asset-liability management using the parameterized method addressed in Li et al. (SIAM J. Control Optim. 40:1540–1555, 2002) and the state variable transformation technique. By this simple yet efficient method, we derive the analytical optimal strategies and efficient frontiers accurately. A numerical example is presented to shed light on the results established in this work.
