On the Exact Limiting Distribution of a Volatility Target Index
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Assuming a lognormal distribution for the underlying risky asset, we study the limiting distribution of a volatility target index as the rebalancing time step approaches zero. Two limit theorems (a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem) are established, and as an application, the exact limiting distribution is derived.

Annuities provide longevity risk insurance and above‐market returns, but also reduce accidental bequests that transfer ...

Advanced Chemical Engineering, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2026.A two‐scale framework bridges process‐level physics and system‐level decision‐making for electrified green methanol production. Replacing computationally demanding reactor simulations with an interpretable symbolic‐regression surrogate enables rapid techno‐economic and life‐cycle assessment. The framework reveals how process performance propagates into

We find stark disparities in returns to wealth: average rates rise from 2.5% for the bottom 90% to 5% for the top 10% of ...
