Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the robust utility maximization problems under both preferences of extremely ambiguity loving and ambiguity aversion. By a fundamental martingale characterization technique on nonlinear expectations, optimal investment strategies are explicitly solved in a general non-Markovian framework via backward stochastic differential equations. Different with previous works in the literature assuming the convexity of the set of prior probability measures , our analysis are independent of the cardinality of
. Our results show that extremely ambiguity-loving (resp. -aversion) investors will adopt the extremely aggressive (resp. conservative) investment strategy.
