Abstract:
This paper studies the effects of jump risk in returns on the hedge fund manager’s optimal risk taking under high-water mark contract. The results show that the fund manager’s optimal risk taking under jump-diffusion risk is not a simple combination of that under pure-jump risk and pure-diffusion risk. The increase in jump intensity and jump size discourages the fund manager’s risk choice.
