- Title: Some remarks on Bayesian optimal CRRA-utility
- Abstract:
A Bayesian CRRA-utility maximization is considered, where mean-return-rates of risky assets
is an unobservable random vector.
Several remarks are mentioned for this problem:
Several remarks are mentioned for this problem:
i) The optimal expected utility grows hyperbolically in the long run when Arrow-Pratt’s risk aversion parameter is bigger than 1. This provides a sharp contrast to the results of “non-Bayesian” settings.
ii) For log utility case with infinite horizon, where optimal portfolios are sometimes called Bayesian Kelly portfolio, or universal portfolio, reduction techniques of computational difficulties are introduced: EG-update portfolio, and Gaussian prior combined with projection will be mentioned.
