TLDR
A semi-closed form solution of the optimal dynamic investment policy with the boundaries of buying, no-transaction, selling, and liquidation regions is derived, which proves the optimal policy is always time consistent in efficiency.Abstract:
This paper studies mean-variance portfolio selection problem subject to proportional transaction costs and no-shorting constraint We do not impose any distributional assumptions on the asset returns By adopting dynamic programming, duality theory, and a comparison approach, we manage to derive a semi-closed form solution of the optimal dynamic investment policy with the boundaries of buying, no-transaction, selling, and liquidation regions Numerically, we illustrate the properties of the optimal policy by depicting the corresponding efficient frontiers under different rates of transaction costs and initial wealth allocations We nd that the efficient frontier is distorted due to the transaction cost incurred We also examine how the width of the no-transaction region varies with different transaction cost rates Empirically, we show that our transaction-cost-aware policy outperforms the transaction-cost-unaware policy in a realistic trading environment that incurs transaction costsread more

Characterization of Optimal Strategy for Multi-Asset Investment and Consumption with Transaction Costs
Xinfu Chen,Min Dai +1 more
TL;DR: This work describes the optimal investment strategy and proves by rigorous mathematical analysis that the trading region has the shape that is very much needed for well defining the trading strategy; e.g., the no-trading region has distinct corners.

Cone-Constrained Continuous-Time Markowitz Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the Markowitz problem in a general semimartingale model and under cone constraints, where trading strategies must take values in a (possibly random and timedependent) closed cone.

A cost-effective approach to portfolio construction with range-based risk measures
Chi Seng Pun,Lei Wang +1 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces a new class of risk measures and the corresponding risk minimizing portfolio optimization problem and shows that for some cases of the proposed range-based risk measures, the corresponding portfolio optimization can be recast as a support vector regression problem.

Optimal dynamic mean–variance portfolio subject to proportional transaction costs and no-shorting constraint
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-closed form solution of the optimal dynamic investment policy with the boundaries of buying, no-transaction, selling, and liquidation regions was derived by adopting dynamic programming, duality theory, and a comparison approach.

Optimum consumption and portfolio rules in a continuous-time model☆
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the continuous-time consumption-portfolio problem for an individual whose income is generated by capital gains on investments in assets with prices assumed to satisfy the geometric Brownian motion hypothesis, which implies that asset prices are stationary and lognormally distributed.

Lifetime Portfolio Selection under Uncertainty: The Continuous-Time Case
TL;DR: In this paper, the combined problem of optimal portfolio selection and consumption rules for an individual in a continuous-time model was examined, where his income is generated by returns on assets and these returns or instantaneous "growth rates" are stochastic.

Portfolio selection with transaction costs
Mark H. A. Davis,A. R. Norman +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the optimal buying and selling policies are the local times of the two-dimensional process of bank and stock holdings at the boundaries of a wedge-shaped region which is determined by the solution of a nonlinear free boundary problem.

Continuous-Time Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection: A Stochastic LQ Framework
Xun Yu Zhou,Duan Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection problem is formulated as a bicriteria optimization problem, where the objective is to maximize the expected terminal return and minimize the variance of the terminal wealth.

Capital Market Equilibrium with Transaction Costs
TL;DR: In this article, a two-asset, intertemporal portfolio selection model incorporating proportional transaction costs is formulated, and the demand for assets is shown to be sensitive to these costs.
