Kelly Problem

Consider a financial market with K assets whose prices Pi(t), i = 1, …, K are stochastic, dynamic processes, and a risk-free asset whose price is P0(t). The vector of prices at time t is

images

If the prices are given at points in time t1 and t2, with t1 < t2, then the rate of return over that time on a unit of capital invested in asset i is

images

When there are dividends Di accrued in the time interval, then the return is Ri(t1, t2) = (Pi(t2) + Di(t2 − t1))/Pi(t1).

Suppose an investor has wt units of capital at time t, and that capital is fully invested in the assets, with the proportions invested in each asset given by xi(t), i = 0, … K, where images. Then an investment or trading strategy at time t is the vector process

images

Given the investments wt1 X(t1) at time t1, the accumulated capital at time t2 is

The trajectory of returns between time t1 and time t2 depends ...
