Optimal Portfolio Selection with Transaction Costs

Abstract
This paper examines the lifetime portfolio-selection problem in the presence of transaction costs. Using a discrete time approach, we develop analytical expressions for the investor's indirect utility function and also for the boundaries of the no-transactions region. The economy consists of a single risky asset and a riskless asset. Transactions in the risky asset incur proportional transaction costs. The investor has a power utility function and is assumed to maximize expected utility of end-of-period wealth. We illustrate the solution procedure in the case in which the returns on the risky asset follow a multiplicative binomial process. Our paper both complements and extends the recent work by Gennotte and Jung (1994), which used numerical approximations to tackle this problem.
