Abstract
Consider the optimal allocation between money market account and corporate bond fund. While the money market account is free of credit risk, corporate bonds are defaultable and exhibit long-range dependence (LRD) in credit risk. We propose a Volterra default intensity model to capture the LRD in credit risk. Using utility maximization, we derive the novel optimal investment strategy for a corporate bond fund. As empirical study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has lowered the level of LRD in credit risk, we conduct sensitivity analysis and empirically investigate the changes in demand for corporate bonds before and during the pandemic period.
