The Dynamic Portfolio
Fujio Takata
ABSTRACT:
This paper deals with portfolio selection, especially from the viewpoint of dynamics. Markets composed of many agents such as the security market and the currency market, feature price fluctuations over time, which are often caused by changes in anticipations about the future. Investors have considered this as unfavorable, since it entails risk. To deal with this, Markowitz contrived a static portfolio selection theory, and that theory has now been developed with a dynamic principle. We also follow this trend: Based on the Wiener process, we establish a dynamic portfolio and find two important issues that involve two crucial phenomena which coexist on an efficient frontier: one is a situation with minimum risk; the other is one with maximum return. The two can coexist because they are on the same efficient frontier curve. Furthermore, the equal weight of assets included in the portfolio entails a situation with minimum risk, and the portfolio with maximum return is determined only by risk assets.
