In this companion paper to “Optimal Investment with Transaction Costs and Stochastic Volatility Part I: Infinite Horizon”, "http://ssrn.com/abstract=2374150" http://ssrn.com/abstract=2374150, we give an accuracy proof for the finite time optimal investment and consumption problem under fast...

Two major financial market complexities are transaction costs and uncertain volatility, and we analyze their joint impact on the problem of portfolio optimization. When volatility is constant, the transaction costs optimal investment problem has a long history, especially in the use of...

This supplemental appendix accompanies "Optimal Investment with Transaction Costs and Stochastic Volatility Part II: Finite Horizon" by the same authors, available at:"http://ssrn.com/abstract=2659918" http://ssrn.com/abstract=2659918. In this appendix we prove the verification theorem that the...

This paper considers a sequence of discrete-time random walk markets with a single risky asset, and gives conditions for the existence of arbitrage opportunities or free lunches with vanishing risk, of the form of waiting to buy and selling the next period, with no shorting, and furthermore for...

A risk-neutral agent optimizes extraction of dividends or renewable natural resources modelled by a jump-diffusion stock process, where the optimal strategy is characterized as the minimal intervention required to keep the stock process inside a given region. The introduction of a small fixed...

We investigate the optimal investment problem when the interest rate is stochastic and the investor must pay proportional transaction costs when buying and selling the risky assets. We first consider a portfolio of bonds and transaction costs.We then add a stock to the portfolio, and analyze the...

We consider a consumption-investment optimization problem for the Kabanov model when the proportional transaction costs rate is constant and the prices are modeled by a Lévy process. We naturally extend the preliminary work of [4] to portfolio processes that are only supposed to be làdlàg....

In the high-frequency limit, conditional expected increments of fractional Brownian motion converge to a white noise, shedding their dependence on the path history and the forecasting horizon, and making dynamic optimization problems tractable. We find an explicit formula for locally...

The focus of this article is using dynamic correlation models for the calculation of minimum variance hedge ratios between pairs of assets. Finding an optimal hedge requires not only knowledge of the variability of both assets, but also of the co-movement between the two assets. For this...

A discrete time model of financial markets is considered. It is assumed that the relative jumps of the risky security price are independent non-identically distributed random variables. In the focus of attention is the expected non-risky profit of the investor that arises when the jumps of the...
