About

Overview

His current research interest is in optimal investment and annuitization decisions for retirement or a lifetime, using multi-stage stochastic programming. A major aim of his doctoral research is to deliver implementable investment and annuitization strategies for individual investors and financial advisers. A more specific objective is to search for an optimal solution under various practical real-world features and constraints. His studies contribute to building links between the numerical solutions available using operational research methods and the solutions from stylized models of financial economics and actuarial science.

Dr Chul Jang has earned his PhD degree in Actuarial Science and Insurance from Cass Business School, UK, an MBA degree from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, and a BSc degree in Industrial Engineering, Finance and Economics from Hanyang University, South Korea. He worked in pricing at LINA life insurance (CIGNA), and as a researcher at Mirae Asset Financial Group and the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs in Seoul, South Korea.
