Excerpt:
In this essay, we consider an additional application. Using the utility framework described by Warren (2019), we
examine the impact of using one of BB’s fitted jump-diffusion models on a pension plan sponsor’s long-term asset
allocation decision. We want to compare asset allocation results to those using the standard finance workhorse
model of a geometric Brownian motion (i.e., lognormal return generating process or LN hereafter).
