Optimal investment and consumption with transaction costs
نویسندگان
چکیده
An agent can invest in a high—yield bond and a low—yield bond, holding either long or short positions in either asset. Any movement of money between these two assets incurs a transaction cost proportional to the size of the transaction. The low—yield bond is liquid in the sense that wealth invested in this bond can be consumed directly without a transaction cost; wealth invested in the high—yield bond can be consumed only by first moving it into the low—yield bond. The problem of optimal consumption and investment on an infinite planning horizon is solved for a class of utility functions larger than the class of power functions.

Optimal Consumption and Investment with Transaction Costs and Multiple Risky Assets
We consider the optimal intertemporal consumption and investment policy of a constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) investor who faces fixed and proportional transaction costs when trading multiple risky assets. We show that when asset returns are uncorrelated, the optimal investment policy is to keep the dollar amount invested in each risky asset between two constant levels and upon reaching e...
متن کاملFinite Horizon Optimal Investment and Consumption with CARA Utility and Proportional Transaction costs∗
We are concerned with the optimal investment and consumption in a continuous-time setting for a constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) investor who faces proportional transaction costs and finite horizon. This is a singular stochastic control problem and the associated value function is governed by a variational inequality equation with gradient constraints. In terms of a novel approach develop...

متن کاملCharacterization of Optimal Strategy for Multiasset Investment and Consumption with Transaction Costs
We consider the optimal consumption and investment with transaction costs on multiple assets, where the prices of risky assets jointly follow a multi-dimensional geometric Brownian motion. We characterize the optimal investment strategy and in particular prove by rigorous mathematical analysis that the trading region has the shape that is very much needed for well defining the trading strategy,...
متن کاملConsumption-investment problem with transaction costs for Lévy-driven price processes
We consider an optimal control problem of linear stochastic integro-differential equation with conic constraints on the phase variable and the control of singular-regular type. Our setting includes consumption-investment problems for models of financial markets in the presence of proportional transaction costs where that the prices are geometric Lévy processes and the investor is allowed to tak...
