Optimal long term investment model with memory

Probability 2008-12-02 v3 Portfolio Management

Abstract

We consider a financial market model driven by an R^n-valued Gaussian process with stationary increments which is different from Brownian motion. This driving noise process consists of nn independent components, and each component has memory described by two parameters. For this market model, we explicitly solve optimal investment problems. These include (i) Merton's portfolio optimization problem; (ii) the maximization of growth rate of expected utility of wealth over the infinite horizon; (iii) the maximization of the large deviation probability that the wealth grows at a higher rate than a given benchmark. The estimation of paremeters is also considered.
