Tiivistelmä: | The authors study delegated portfolio management when the agent controls the riskiness of the portfolio. Under general conditions, they show that the optimal contract is simply a bonus contract: the agent is paid a fixed sum if the portfolio return is above a threshold. They derive a criterion to decide whether the optimal contract induces excessive or insufficient risk. If a deviation from efficient risk taking causes a large reduction in the expected return of the portfolio, the optimal contract induces excessive (insufficient) risk. |
