Optimal Multivariate Financial Decision Making
Agents who pursue optimal portfolio choice by optimizing a univariate objective (e.g., an expected utility) obtain optimal payoffs that are increasing with each other (comonotonic). This situation may lead to an undesirable level of systemic risk for society. A regulator may therefore aim to enforce diversification among the various portfolios by optimizing a suitable multivariate objective. We assess the cost of diversification and provide the strategy that the regulator should pursue for obtaining the desired level of diversification.
