Abstract

This paper studies the properties of discrete time stochastic optimal control problems associated with portfolio selection. We investigate if optimal continuous time strategies can be used effectively for a discrete time market after a straightforward discretization. We found that Merton’s strategy approximates the performance of the optimal strategy in a discrete time model with the sufficiently small time steps.
