Abstract

We use the Ito-Ventzell formula for forward integrals and Malliavin calculus to study the stochastic control problem associated to utility indifference pricing in a market driven by Levy processes. This approach allows us to consider general possibly non-Markovian systems, general utility functions and possibly partial information based portfolios. In the special case of the exponential utility function $U_\alpha = - \exp(-\alpha x)\; ; $ $ \alpha >0$, we obtain asymptotics properties for vanishing $\alpha$. In the special case of full information based portfolios and no jumps, we obtain a recursive formula for the optimal portfolio in a non-Markovian setting.
