Optimal Investment with Quadratic Transaction Costs in a Multi-factor and Stochastic Interest Rate Environment

papers.ssrn.com2025-10-20Paper
Executive summary

Researchers present a new framework for optimal investment in markets with realistic frictions, including quadratic transaction costs and changing interest rates. Their semi-analytical solution to nonlinear partial differential equations lets investors adjust portfolios gradually, balancing costs and future opportunities. A deep learning algorithm efficiently solves high-dimensional problems, surpassing traditional methods. The study uses geometric Brownian motion for asset prices and Picard fixed-point iterations, but calls for more real-world data and practical implementation discussion.

What it examines

This paper develops a new method for choosing the best investment strategy when trading costs and market conditions change over time. It uses advanced math and deep learning to find solutions in complex financial markets with unpredictable interest rates, asset prices, and transaction costs.

What it concludes

The results show that the proposed strategy helps investors balance profits and costs, especially in markets with changing conditions. The deep learning approach makes it practical for real-world use, such as automated trading and risk management. Future research may extend these methods to more assets and market scenarios.
