Abstract

We discuss a class of risk-sensitive portfolio optimization problems. We consider the portfolio optimization model investigated by Nagai (SIAM J. Control Optim. 41:1779–1800, 2003). The model by its nature can include fixed income securities as well in the portfolio. Under fairly general conditions, we prove the existence of an optimal portfolio in both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon problems.
