As the dynamic mean-variance portfolio selection formulation does not satisfy the principle of optimality of dynamic programming, phenomena of time inconsistency occur, i.e., investors may have incentives to deviate from the pre-committed optimal mean-variance portfolio policy during the...

Since Markowitz published his seminal work on mean-variance portfolio selection in 1952, almost all literature in the past half century adhere their investigation to a binding budget spending assumption on this classical investment issue. In the mean-variance world for a market of all risky...

An investor does not always invest in risky assets in all time periods, often due to the management fee charged for hiring an agent in managing his investment in risky assets. Motivated by this observed common phenomenon, this paper considers the time cardinality constrained mean-variance...

The mean-variance formulation by Markowitz in the 1950s paved a foundation for modern portfolio selection analysis in a single period. This paper considers an analytical optimal solution to the mean-variance formulation in multiperiod portfolio selection. Specifically, analytical optimal...

Hidden orders are offered by many lit trading venues for participants to hide the true size of their orders. To help a risk-neutral trader executing a target volume to minimize the execution cost by benefitting from the setting of a limit order market allowing hidden orders, we propose a...
