BSDE Approach to Utility Maximization with Square-Root Factor Processes
Abstract
We consider the utility-based portfolio selection problem in a continuous-time setting. We assume the market price of risk depends on a stochastic factor that satisfies an affine-form, square-root, Markovian model. This financial market framework includes the classical geometric Brownian motion, CEV model, and Heston’s model as special cases. Adopting the BSDE approach, we obtain closed-form solutions for the optimal portfolio strategies and value functions for the logarithmic, power, and exponential utility functions.
