Abstract
In a market with a discontinuous filtration, whose price is influenced by a random factor, we study an optimization problem of an investor who is facing a sequence of losses driven by a Cox process. We give a form of variance-optimal martingale measure by changing the filtration. By using the solutions of the stochastic Riccati equation and another associated backward stochastic equation, we obtain a solution of the optimization problem of the investor.
