Nash equilibria for relative investors with (non)linear price impact

Abstract

We consider the strategic interaction of nn investors who are able to influence a stock price process and at the same time measure their utilities relative to the other investors. Our main aim is to find Nash equilibrium investment strategies in this setting in a financial market driven by a Brownian motion and investigate the influence the price impact has on the equilibrium. We consider both CRRA and CARA utility functions. Our findings show that the problem is well-posed as long as the price impact is at most linear. Moreover, numerical results reveal that the investors behave very aggressively when the price impact is beyond a critical parameter.
