  要: Robust portfolio selection is a popular problem in recent years. In this paper we study the optimal investment problem for an individual who carries a constant consumption rate but worries about the model ambiguity of _financial market. Instead of using the conventional value function like utility of terminal wealth maximization, we here focus on the purpose of risk control and seek to minimize the probability of lifetime ruin. This study is motivated by Bayraktar and Zhang (2015), but we use a standardized penalty for ambiguity aversion. The advantage of taking a standardized penalty is that we can obtain the closed-form solutions to both the optimal investment policy and the value function. By employing dynamic programming principle, we derive the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation satisfied by the value function, and then obtain the closed-form solutions for the optimal investment strategy and the value function as well. More interestingly, we use \Ambiguity Derived Ratio" to characterize that the existence of model ambiguity that affects significantly the optimal investment policy. Finally, some numerical examples are also given to illustrate our results.
