Abstract

We prove existence of optimal investment-consumption strategies for an infinite horizon portfolio optimization problem in a Levy market with intertemporal substitution and transaction costs. This paper complements our previous work [4], which established that the value function can be uniquely characterized as a constrained viscosity solution of the associated HamiltonJacobi-Bellman equation (but [4] left open the question of existence of optimal strategies). In this paper, we also give an alternative proof of the viscosity solution property of the value function. This proof exploits the existence of optimal strategies and is consequently simpler than the one proposed in [4].
