Abstract

We consider the portfolio choice problem for a long-run investor in a general continuous semimartingale model. We combine the decision criterion of pathwise growth optimality with a flexible specification of attitude towards risk, encoded by a linear drawdown constraint imposed on admissible wealth processes. We define the constrained numraire property through the notion of expected relative return and prove that drawdown-constrained numeraire portfolio exists and is unique, but may depend on the investment horizon. However, when sampled at the times of its maximum and asymptotically as the time-horizon becomes distant, the drawdown-constrained numeraire portfolio is given explicitly through a model-independent transformation of the unconstrained numeraire portfolio. The asymptotically growth-optimal strategy is obtained as limit of numeraire strategies on finite horizons.
