An Optimal Transaction Intervals for Portfolio Selection Problem with Bullet Transaction Cost
This paper discusses an optimal transaction interval for a consumption and investment decision problemfor an~individual who has available a~risklessasset paying fixed interest rate and a~risky asset driven byBrownian motion price fluctuations.The individual observes current wealth when making transactions, that transactions incur costs,and that decisions to transact can be made at any time based on all current information.The transactions costs is fixed for every transaction, regardless of amount transacted. In addition, the investor is charged a fixed fraction oftotal wealth as management fee. The investor's objective is to maximize the expectedutility of consumption over a given horizon.The problem faced by the investor is formulated in a stochastic discrete-continuous-time control problem. An optimal transaction interval for the inverstor is derived.
