In this paper we discuss mathematical programming methods for insurance companies, mutual fund managers, and banks to match cash flow and liabilities. We focus on mortgage-backed securities, and methods for using them for asset allocation. Given the recent and ongoing sub-prime mortgage debacle, it is imperative that the conscientious and conservative investor use robust mathematical models to decide whether to hold or sell their current investments, or to invest in other portfolios, instead of making such decisions without careful consideration. We first discuss the difference between a deterministic and stochastic instrument, then describe a linear programming model for allocating bonds deterministically, and then, as in the case of mortgage-backed securities, stochastically.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the fact that 2010 was generally a good year for retirement plan investors, with average balances returning to pre-recession levels, it appears that the economic uncertainty and market volatility have contributed to lower levels of investing confidence and generally more conservative investing behavior among participants. Among women in particular, confidence in investment decisions and the stock market is much lower vs. men and the gap is widening, pointing to a significant opportunity for retirement plan advisors and providers to do even more to help educate participants regarding their investments.
