Optimal investment and consumption with forward preferences and uncertain parameters

Mathematical Finance 2023-11-20 v3

Abstract

This paper studies robust forward investment and consumption preferences within a zero-volatility context. Different from previous works, we consider an incomplete financial market model due to general investment portfolio constraints. We provide a new PDE characterization and a novel semi-explicit saddle-point construction of forward preferences and optimal strategies. We further present a more detailed construction of forward preferences and optimal strategies under constant relative risk aversion (CRRA). Key findings emphasize the necessity of a specific relationship between the initial investment preference and the forward consumption preference, indicating a long-term decreasing trend in forward consumption preference behavior.
