Abstract

This paper investigates a dynamic trading problem with transaction cost and uncertain exit time in a general Markov market, where the mean vector and covariance matrix of returns depend on the states of the stochastic market, and the market state is regime switching in a time varying state set. Following the framework proposed by Gârleanu and Pedersen (2013), the investor maximizes his or her multi-period mean–variance utility, net of quadratic transaction costs capturing the linear price impact where trades lead to temporary linear changes in prices. The explicit expression for the optimal strategy is derived by using matrix theory technique and dynamic programming approach. Finally, numerical examples are provided to study the effects of transition cost and exit probability on the wealth process, the trading strategy, turnover rate and the total transaction cost.
