Abstract This paper studies optimal time-consistent strategies for the mean-variance portfolio selection problem. Especially, we assume that the price processes of risky stocks are described by regime-switching SDEs. We consider a Markov-modulated state-dependent risk aversion and we formulate the problem in the game theoretic framework. Then, by solving a flow of forward-backward stochastic differential equations, an explicit representation as well as uniqueness results of an equilibrium solution are obtained.

In this paper, we deal with multi-period mean-variance portfolio selection problems with an exogenous uncertain exit-time in a regime-switching market. The market is modelled by a non-homogeneous Markov chain in which the random returns of assets depend on the states of the market and investment time periods. Applying the Lagrange duality method, we derive explicit closed-form expressions for the optimal investment strategies and the efficient frontier. Also, we show that some known results in the literature can be obtained as special cases of our results. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the results.
