We consider the optimal consumption and investment with transaction costs on multiple assets, where the prices of risky assets jointly follow a multi-dimensional geometric Brownian motion. We characterize the optimal investment strategy and in particular prove by rigorous mathematical analysis...

We consider the Merton problem with capital gain taxes. Since closed-form solutions are generally unavailable, we provide asymptotic expansions with small interest rate and other parameters, and then obtain an explicit investment and consumption strategy that effectively approximates the optimal...

We consider a long-term portfolio choice problem with two illiquid and correlated assets and formulate it as an eigenvalue problem in the form of a variational inequality. The eigenvalue is associated with the portfolio’s optimal long-term growth rate, and the free boundaries implied by the...
