Continuous-time Markowitz's mean-variance model under different borrowing and saving rates
We study Markowitz's mean-variance portfolio selection problem in a continuous-time Black-Scholes market with different borrowing and saving rates. The associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation is fully nonlinear. Using a delicate partial differential equation and verification argument, the value function is proven to be $C^{3,2}$ smooth. It is also shown that there are a borrowing boundary and a saving barrier which divide the entire trading area into a borrowing-money region, an all-in-stock region, and a saving-money region in ascending order. The optimal trading strategy is a mixture of continuous-time strategy (as suggested by most continuous-time models) and discontinuous-time strategy (as suggested by models with transaction costs): one should put all her wealth in the stock in the middle all-in-stock region, and continuously trade it in the other two regions in a feedback form of wealth and time. It is never optimal to short sale the stock. Numerical examples are also presented to verify the theoretical results and to give more financial insights beyond them.

Continuous-Time Portfolio Choice Under Monotone Mean-Variance Preferences-Stochastic Factor Case
We consider an incomplete market with a nontradable stochastic factor and a continuous time investment problem with an optimality criterion based on monotone mean-variance preferences. We formulate it as a stochastic dif…
Naive Markowitz Policies
We study a continuous-time Markowitz mean-variance portfolio selection model in which a naive agent, unaware of the underlying time-inconsistency, continuously reoptimizes over time. We define the resulting naive policie…
