Abstract

In the second lecture, I will first discuss turnpike (long-term) investment results for Ito-diffusion markets under time-monotone forward criteria. I will provide general results for the asymptotic spatial and temporal behavior of optimal portfolios, and will compare them with their classical counterparts. In the later part of the lecture, I will introduce predictable forward investment processes and discuss specific examples.
