We consider a sovereign wealth fund that invests broadly in the international financial markets. The influx to the fund has stopped. We adopt the life cycle model and demonstrate that the optimal spending rate from the fund is significantly less than the fund's expected real rate of return. The...

We study the problem of dynamically trading futures in continuous time under a multifactor Gaussian framework. We present a utility maximization approach to determine the optimal futures trading strategy. This leads to the explicit solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. We...

The aim of this paper is to provide a modeling of capital transfer between a portfolio consisted by two assets. For this purpose we use the Arrhenius Equation, which is a modeling tool for the specific modeling. We provide a stochastic differential equation of the Arrhenuis equation. We consider...

A central conjecture of behavioural finance is that arbitrage opportunities appear as a result of systematic irrational investment behaviour and persist since real-world arbitrage trades actually involve costs and risks due to market frictions and non-fundamental risk. This paper shows that the...

The classic Arrow-Debreu framework requires a very large number of specific securities to reach Pareto optimality. The present paper shows that financial intermediation can play an important role in maintaining a more parsimonious market framework while still obtaining Pareto optimality. In the...

This paper studies whether, and to what extent, trading in an incomplete competitive market rewards the CAPM portfolio rule over alternative rules. We find that, if a mean-variance trader faces an agent who invests in each asset proportionally to expected relative payoffs, in the long-run only...

This paper examines the two-fund separation paradigm in the context of an infinite-horizon general equilibrium model with dynamically complete markets and heterogeneous consumers with time- and state-separable utility functions. With the exception of the dynamic structure, we maintain the...
