Continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection with regime-switching financial market: Time-consistent solution

  • Ishak Alia and Farid Chighoub EMAIL logo

Abstract

This paper studies optimal time-consistent strategies for the mean-variance portfolio selection problem. Especially, we assume that the price processes of risky stocks are described by regime-switching SDEs. We consider a Markov-modulated state-dependent risk aversion and we formulate the problem in the game theoretic framework. Then, by solving a flow of forward-backward stochastic differential equations, an explicit representation as well as uniqueness results of an equilibrium solution are obtained.
