In this paper,we present a probabilistic numerical method for a class of forward utilities in a stochastic factor model.For this purpose,we use the representation of forward utilities using the ergodic Backward Stochastic Differential Equations(eBSDEs)introduced by Liang and Zariphopoulou in[27].We establish a connection between the solution of the ergodic BSDE and the solution of an associated BSDE with random terminal time T,defined as the hitting time of the positive recurrent stochastic factor.The viewpoint based on BSDEs with random horizon yields a new characterization of the ergodic cost^which is a part of the solution of the eBSDEs.In particular,for a certain class of eBSDEs with quadratic generator,the Cole-Hopf transformation leads to a semi-explicit representation of the solution as well as a new expression of the ergodic cost>.The latter can be estimated with Monte Carlo methods.We also propose two new deep learning numerical schemes for eBSDEs.Finally,we present numerical results for different examples of eBSDEs and forward utilities together with the associated investment strategies.
