We study the continuous time portfolio optimization model on the market where the mean returns of individual securities or asset categories are linearly dependent on underlying economic factors. We introduce the functional $Q_gamma$ featuring the expected earnings yield of portfolio minus a penalty term proportional with a coefficient $gamma$ to the variance when we keep the value of the factor levels fixed. The coefficient $gamma$ plays the role of a risk-aversion parameter. We find the optimal trading positions that can be obtained as the solution to a maximization problem for $Q_gamma$ at any moment of time. The single-factor case is analyzed in more details. We present a simple asset allocation example featuring an interest rate which affects a stock index and also serves as a second investment opportunity. We consider two possibilities: the interest rate for the bank account is governed by Vasicek-type and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross dynamics, respectively. Then we compare our results with the theory of Bielecki and Pliska where the authors employ the methods of the risk-sensitive control theory thereby using an infinite horizon objective featuring the long run expected growth rate, the asymptotic variance, and a risk-aversion parameter similar to $gamma$.

A continuous-time consumption-investment model with constraint is considered for a small investor whose decisions are the consumption rate and the allocation of wealth to a risk-free and a risky asset with logarithmic Brownian motion fluctuations. Th e consumption rate is subject to an upper bound constraint which linearly depends on the investors wealth and bankruptcy is prohibited. The investors objective is to maximize total expected discounted utility of consumption over an infinite trading horizon. It is shown that the value function is (second order) smooth everywhere but a unique possibility of (known) exception point and the optimal consumption-investment strategy is provided in a closed feedback form of wealth, which in contrast to the existing work does not involve the value function. According to this model, an investor should take the same optimal investment strategy as in Mertons model regardless his financial situation. By contrast, the optimal consumption strategy does depend on the investors financial situation: he should use a similar consumption strategy as in Mertons model when he is in a bad situation, and consume as much as possible when he is in a good situation.

In this paper, we investigate dynamic optimization problems featuring both stochastic control and optimal stopping in a finite time horizon. The paper aims to develop new methodologies, which are significantly different from those of mixed dynamic op timal control and stopping problems in the existing literature, to study a managers decision. We formulate our model to a free boundary problem of a fully nonlinear equation. Furthermore, by means of a dual transformation for the above problem, we convert the above problem to a new free boundary problem of a linear equation. Finally, we apply the theoretical results to challenging, yet practically relevant and important, risk-sensitive problems in wealth management to obtain the properties of the optimal strategy and the right time to achieve a certain level over a finite time investment horizon.
The paper predicts an Efficient Market Property for the equity market, where stocks, when denominated in units of the growth optimal portfolio (GP), have zero instantaneous expected returns. Well-diversified equity portfolios are shown to approximate the GP, which explains the well-observed good performance of equally weighted portfolios. The proposed hierarchically weighted index (HWI) is shown to be an even better proxy of the GP. It sets weights equal within industrial and geographical groupings of stocks. When using the HWI as proxy of the GP the Efficient Market Property cannot be easily rejected and appears to be very robust.

This paper studies an optimal investment and consumption problem with heterogeneous consumption of basic and luxury goods, together with the choice of time for retirement. The utility for luxury goods is not necessarily a concave function. The optima l heterogeneous consumption strategies for a class of non-homothetic utility maximizer are shown to consume only basic goods when the wealth is small, to consume basic goods and make savings when the wealth is intermediate, and to consume small portion in basic goods and large portion in luxury goods when the wealth is large. The optimal retirement policy is shown to be both universal, in the sense that all individuals should retire at the same level of marginal utility that is determined only by income, labor cost, discount factor as well as market parameters, and not universal, in the sense that all individuals can achieve the same marginal utility with different utility and wealth. It is also shown that individuals prefer to retire as time goes by if the marginal labor cost increases faster than that of income. The main tools used in analysing the problem are from PDE and stochastic control theory including viscosity solution, variational inequality and dual transformation.
By exploiting a bipartite network representation of the relationships between mutual funds and portfolio holdings, we propose an indicator that we derive from the analysis of the network, labelled the Average Commonality Coefficient (ACC), which meas ures how frequently the assets in the fund portfolio are present in the portfolios of the other funds of the market. This indicator reflects the investment behavior of funds managers as a function of the popularity of the assets they held. We show that $ACC$ provides useful information to discriminate between funds investing in niche markets and those investing in more popular assets. More importantly, we find that $ACC$ is able to provide indication on the performance of the funds. In particular, we find that funds investing in less popular assets generally outperform those investing in more popular financial instruments, even when correcting for standard factors. Moreover, funds with a low $ACC$ have been less affected by the 2007-08 global financial crisis, likely because less exposed to fire sales spillovers.
