报告内容：The ongoing transition from defined benefit (DB) pension plans to defined contribution (DC) plans in many countries has brought into great emphasis the optimal investment problem in DC plans, among the risk management of occupational retirement plans. Existing research largely neglects the impacts of inter-temporal reward for DC pension fund managers who earn management fees proportional to assets under management both during the interim period and at the plan maturity. This article aims to resolve this long-standing investment problem, namely, the DC pension management with constant contributions from fund holders from the perspective of a manager seeking to maximize the expectation of generic running and terminal utilities of the management fees collected. With the aim of the Dynamic Programming Principle, the problem is associated with a singular, fully non-linear HJB equation. One of our contributions is to develop a rigorous mathematical analysis that establishes the existence of its classical solution by transforming the problem into a non-canonical variational inequality problem which is then solved in a tailored Sobolev space. In addition, another contribution is to introduce an efficient numerical scheme to compute the optimal trading strategy and the value function. Our simulation studies reveal that the policy of charging a substantial terminal-only management fee alone can now be replaced by another scheme of charging a small amount of management fee over the interim period together with a fee at plan maturity. It not only maintains the manager's satisfaction but also notably reduces the total management fees borne by the clients.
