Abstract
We consider the problem of optimal dynamic trading in the presence of predictable returns and proportional transaction costs for an investor choosing among multiple assets. The value of each security equals the expected value of holding the asset plus the value of all options to trade. We provide exact trading rules for N-assets that follow an MA(1) process. Simulations demonstrate the impact of transaction costs, volatility, and predictability on optimal trading behavior. The optimal trading rule can substantially increase performance if transaction costs vary among assets.
期刊介绍：
The frontiers of finance are shifting rapidly, driven in part by the increasing use of quantitative methods in the field. Quantitative Finance welcomes original research articles that reflect the dynamism of this area. The journal provides an interdisciplinary forum for presenting both theoretical and empirical approaches and offers rapid publication of original new work with high standards of quality. The readership is broad, embracing researchers and practitioners across a range of specialisms and within a variety of organizations. All articles should aim to be of interest to this broad readership.
