Optimal Portfolio Selection with Transaction Costs and Finite Horizons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the optimal trading strategy for a CRRA investor who maximizes the expected utility of wealth on a finite date and faces transaction costs. Closed-form solutions are obtained when this date is uncertain. We then show a sequence of analytical solutions converge to the solution to the problem with a deterministic finite horizon. Consistent with the common life-cycle investment advice, the optimal trading strategy is found to be horizon dependent and largely buy and hold. Moreover, it might be optimal for the investor in our model not to buy any stock, even when the risk premium is positive. Further analysis of the optimal policy is also provided.

Multiperiod Portfolio Selection with Different Rates for Borrowing and Lending in Presence of Transaction Costs
Portfolio management is one of the most important areas of research in financial engineering. This paper is concerned with multi period decision problem for financial asset allocation when the rate of borrowing is greater than the rate of lending. Transaction costs as a source of concern for portfolio managers is also considered in this paper. The proposed method of this paper is formulated in ...
متن کاملDynamic portfolio optimization with transaction costs and state-dependent drift
The problem of dynamic portfolio choice with transaction costs is often addressed by constructing a Markov Chain approximationof the continuous timeprice processes. Using this approximation,wepresent an efficient numerical method to determine optimal portfolio strategies under timeand state-dependent drift and proportional transaction costs. This scenario arises when investors have behavioral b...
متن کاملGrowth-optimal Strategies with Quadratic Friction over Finite-time Investment Horizons
We investigate the growth optimal strategy over a finite time horizon for a stock and bond portfolio in an analytically solvable multiplicative Markovian market model. We show that the optimal strategy consists in holding the amount of capital invested in stocks within an interval around an ideal optimal investment. The size of the holding interval is determined by the intensity of the transact...
متن کاملMulti-period Optimal Portfolio Decision with Transaction Costs and HARA Utility Function
Portfolio selection problem is one of the core research fields in modern financial management. While considering the transaction costs in the long term investment makes the portfolio selection problems more complex than there are no transaction costs. In this paper, the general multi-period investment problems with HARA utility function and proportional transaction costs are investigated. By us...
متن کاملA Mean-Variance Model for Optimal Portfolio Selection with Transaction Costs
On the basis of Markowitz mean-variance framework, a new optimal portfolio selection approach is presented. The portfolio selection model proposed in the approach includes the expected return, the risk, and especially a quadratic type transaction cost of a portfolio. Using this model may yield an optimal portfolio solution that maximizes return, and minimizes risk, as well as also minimizes tra...
