Optimal Portfolio with Power Utility of Absolute and Relative Wealth
Portfolio managers often evaluate performance relative to benchmark, usually taken to be the Standard & Poor 500 stock index fund. This relative portfolio wealth is defined as the absolute portfolio wealth divided by wealth from investing in the benchmark (including reinvested dividends). The classic Merton problem for portfolio optimization considers absolute portfolio wealth. We combine absolute and relative wealth in our new utility function. We also consider the case of multiple benchmarks. To both absolute and relative wealth, we apply power utility functions, possibly with different exponents. We obtain an explicit solution and compare it to the classic Merton solution. We apply our results to the Capital Asset Pricing Model setting.

Mean-Variance Efficiency of Optimal Power and Logarithmic Utility Portfolios
We derive new results related to the portfolio choice problem for power and logarithmic utilities. Assuming that the portfolio returns follow an approximate log-normal distribution, the closed-form expressions of the opt…
Mean Field Games for Optimal Investment Under Relative Performance Criteria
In this paper, we study the portfolio optimization problem formulated by Lacker and Soret. They formulate a finite time horizon model that allows agents to be competitive, measuring their utility not only by their absolu…
Portfolio OptimizationA Unified Formula of the Optimal Portfolio for Piecewise Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion Utilities
We propose a general family of piecewise hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (PHARA) utilities, including many classic and non-standard utilities as examples. A typical application is the composition of a HARA preference a…

This paper studies a type of periodic utility maximization for portfolio management in an incomplete market model, where the underlying price diffusion process depends on some external stochastic factors. The portfolio p…
