Abstract

A portfolio optimization problem on an infinite time horizon is considered. Risky asset price obeys a logarithmic Brownian motion, and the interest rate varies according to an ergodic Markov diffusion process. Moreover, the interest rate fluctuation is correlated with the risky asset price fluctuation. The goal is to choose optimal investment and consumption policies to maximize the infinite horizon expected discounted log utility of consumption. A dynamic programming principle is used to derive the dynamic programming equation (DPE). The explicit solutions for optimal consumption and investment control policies are obtained. In addition, for a special case, an explicit formula for the value function is given.
