Asymptotic methods for transaction costs
We propose a general approximation method for determining optimal trading strategies in markets with proportional transaction costs, with a polynomial approximation of the residual value function. The method is exemplified by several problems from optimally tracking benchmarks, hedging the Log contract, to maximizing utility from terminal wealth. Strategies are also approximated by practically executable, discrete trades. We identify the necessary trade-off between trading frequency and trade sizes to have satisfactory agreement with the theoretically optimal, continuous strategies of infinite activity.

Unified Asymptotics For Investment Under Illiquidity: Transaction Costs And Search Frictions
This paper investigates the optimal investment problem in a market with two types of illiquidity: transaction costs and search frictions. Extending the framework established by arXiv:2101.09936, we analyze a power-utilit…
Optimal investment in illiquid market with search frictions and transaction costs
We consider an optimal investment problem to maximize expected utility of the terminal wealth, in an illiquid market with search frictions and transaction costs. In the market model, an investor's attempt of transaction …
A Primer on Portfolio Choice with Small Transaction Costs
This survey is an introduction to asymptotic methods for portfolio-choice problems with small transaction costs. We outline how to derive the corresponding dynamic programming equations and simplify them in the small-cos…
