We consider the problem of maximizing the expected amount of time an exponential martingale spends above a constant threshold up to a finite time horizon. We assume that at any time the volatility of the martingale can be chosen to take any value between $$sigma _1$$σ1 and $$sigma _2$$σ2, where $$0 < sigma _1 < sigma _2$$0<σ1<σ2. The optimal control consists in choosing the minimal volatility $$sigma _1$$σ1 when the process is above the threshold, and the maximal volatility if it is below. We give a rigorous proof using classical verification and provide integral formulas for the maximal expected occupation time above the threshold.
