Stochastic Modelling on Dynamics of Portfolio Diversifications among the Fixed and Operational Investments through Internal Bivariate Linear Birth, Death and Migration Processes ()
1. Introduction
Portfolio management has good attraction of researchers of decision making model developments with stochasticity. Formulation of suitable relationship between variables in finance sector and risk assessment is the potential area of application of stochastic modelling as the derivatives of finance investments follow various stochastic processes. Understanding the dynamics of cash flow within one format of investments and also in between two or more formats of investments is possible by measuring the processes in small interval of time so as the behaviour of the investment growth/loss/transformation can be estimated in a epoch of time “t”. A continuous time diffusion process is the suitable option for diversification, growth, and real interest rates among the countries with closed economy and technological uncertainties.
The pioneering activity on modelling of time series data using Brownian motion was initiated in lateral period of 19th century [1] . Consequently, Bachelier developed theory to study the risk asset prices with Brownian motion using the assumptions of increments of stock prices shall be independent and normally distributed and applied for Paris stock market [2] . Another significant development in this direction is that Construction of Markov processes with continuous through Kolmogorov’s analytic theory [3] .
Bachelier’s model was failed due to the reason that it has not ensured about the stock prices would always be positive though the Geometric Brownian Motion has overcome this drawback [4] . It is evident that Geometric Brownian Motion is a suitable and competent model for stock price movements [5] . The Martingale Approach is used explicitly instead of the classical approach based on partial differential equations for modelling the stock prices. The shift of partial differential equations under boundary conditions to martingale methods has taken long time and which is an essential condition for Feynman-Kac method is, however, that the underlying security processes have to be Markovian diffusions [6] . A constructive approach to stochastic integration with respect to continuous, vector-valued martingales with “continuous” filtrations is presented by Walter Willinger et al. Here the Riemann-Stieltjes approximation is used to discretize time and to carefully discretize the probability space so that almost-sure (path wise) convergence of “simple” Riemann-Stieltjes sums can be established. They have also applied path wise stochastic integration to the theory of security markets with continuous trading [5] . Many theories have been developed to deal with the analysis of stochastic models for the buying and selling of portfolios of securities in continuous time. Another vital finding is Lower tail dependence which contains significant facts for risk-averse investors and is appropriate for portfolio choice, and this a measure of the probability that whether a portfolio will suffer large losses [5] [7] .
Investors can formulate a probability distribution of the probable rates of return on investments to study the likelihood of default and bankruptcy risk [8] . International risk-sharing can yield substantial welfare gains through its effect on expected consumption growth under the assumption that the countries initially hold no riskless assets and asset returns are symmetrically distributed [9] . PDE methods of Kolmogorov and Feller used to study Markov processes with analytic approach and Stochastic Differentials of Itô with probabilistic approach [10] .
The objective of portfolio manager is to minimize the tracking error variance (TEC) for a given projected gain more than the bench marking targets so as the achievement in the wealth of maximum shareholders [11] .
The perception of tail dependence derives from Extreme Value Theory (EVT) allows to designate the tail behaviour of a random variable deprived of postulating its underlying distribution [12] . The risk and returns of investment portfolio in hypothetical scenario based on Heston models have good agreement with practical data pertaining to investigate changing aspects of stock price in real financial markets [13] . A portfolio manager shall have pre-set of information about security returns, developed obvious solutions for the ideal dynamic portfolios with a range of probable constraints. He/she may monitor by using conditioning information to form portfolios that optimize unrestricted performance methods and unconditional tracking efficiency [14] . A unified structure to model and to make evaluation on comparatively large dependence matrices by means of pair vine copula and lowest risk optimal portfolios with respect to five risk measures viz., variance, MAD, minimax, the conditional Value-at-Risk and the conditional Drawdown-at-Risk, has been proposed [15] .
Value at Risk (VaR) is an unsuccessful measure to vigilant the instability on the perspective as it is not using Non-standard Monte Carlo simulations. The magnitude of fat a lower tail, in special circumstances like turbulent markets, general Monte Carlo analysis might not reflect. Then the bi-modal switching structure between assumed normal periods and possible turbulent economic periods may help to resolve the problem [16] . A bivariate stochastic model for Portfolio Management to find the share allocations in Risky and Non-Risky Portfolios of an investment business was developed by considering the linear birth, death and migration processes. It will assess the prevalence of investment inflows from risky to safety assets and vice versa in a portfolio management through the mechanism of growth/loss/and transition processes within a single scheme of investments [17] .
Management of single portfolio consisting of bivariate inflow among the same scheme of the investments such as short term and long-term investments is modelled. However, in practice there will be more than one scheme of investments in which the investors prefer to share their capital. The optimal finance management always suggests the operation of more than one scheme of investments to achieve the objectives like risk minimization, profit maximization, consistency in growth of investment, etc. In order to reach the said goals, this study has proposed a stochastic model with bivariate linear growth and loss processes in two dimensional complementary schemes of investments. Text styles are provided. The formatter will need to create these components, incorporating the applicable criteria that follow.
2. Stochastic Model
As per this model, there will be two simultaneous operating investment schemes namely long term (fixed) investment and short term (operational) investment. There are two types of complementary growth portfolios namely risky assets and safety assets, operates within each of the fixed and operational investments. Hence this study describes and developed a stochastic model with Bivariate Poisson linear growth and loss processes with two-dimensional investment schemes. The proposed process has the combination of four possible investments such as (i) Fixed Investments with Risky Assets, (ii) Fixed Investments with Safety Assets, (iii) Operational Investments with Risky Assets and (iv) Operational Investments with Safety Assets. Two schemes of investments are connected by a linear combination for getting the joint effect of the total investment policy.
This study has addressed a two-dimensional investment stochastic model with bivariate risk management and portfolio diversification within each dimension. The activities like bonus shares, liquidation, transfer of investments from risky assets to safety assets and vice-versa are expressed with the combination of fixed and operational investments. Each bivariate process is influenced with initial fixed investments in risky and safety assets; as well as initial operational investments in risky and safety assets.
Usually, the objective of Portfolio diversification is to minimize the risk in the investments. However, continuous diversification without any absence makes some times the Portfolio is towards for loss in the long run. The logic of jointing the total effect of portfolio diversification with fixed investment and operational investment through a linear combination of binary variables is considered in this study. Further, it is assumed that the Poisson processes of diversification during the fixed investment and operational investment are complementary. However, the model development is designed to study the factors on growth, evolutions and stipulations and loss processes as an overall phenomenon by combining the conditions of risky and safety assets.
