The Optimal Log-Utility Asset Management under Incomplete Information
Tóm tắt
In this paper, we propose a theory for deriving the optimal portfolio that assures the log-utility investors of maximizing their expected utility. Restricting investors' information at defined levels, we propose the sample path-wise optimal portfolio (SPOP), which is consistent with the back-test framework used in actualinvestment. It is proven that, at any finite terminal time, this SPOP is asymptotically optimal among all the portfolios which are predictable under investors' incompleteinformation. The optimality is guaranteed by the continuous Bayesian updating formula. Finally, we discuss an algorithm for searching the SPOP, based on asset prices at discrete time intervals.
