Speaker: Michael Best
Affiliation: University of Waterloo

Abstract:

This talk will begin with an overview of the subject (for those who may not be too familiar with it). Then I will discuss several areas of my research.

  1. A closed form solution for a problem of bounded uncorrelated assets.
  2. Portfolio optimization with transaction costs. 
  3. Kinks on the efficient frontier.
  4. A bilinear utility function.
