Abstract
We consider the problem of maximizing the expected utility of terminal wealth with a terminal random liability when the underlying asset price process is a continuous semimartingale. The optimal strategy is characterized in terms of a forward backward semimartingale system of equations. The results cover the cases of exponential, logarithmic, and power utilities, which we analyze as illustrative examples.
