Mean-variance portfolio selection with an uncertain exit-time in a regime-switching market
RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle, Tome 53 (2019) no. 4, pp. 1171-1186.

In this paper, we deal with multi-period mean-variance portfolio selection problems with an exogenous uncertain exit-time in a regime-switching market. The market is modelled by a non-homogeneous Markov chain in which the random returns of assets depend on the states of the market and investment time periods. Applying the Lagrange duality method, we derive explicit closed-form expressions for the optimal investment strategies and the efficient frontier. Also, we show that some known results in the literature can be obtained as special cases of our results. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the results.
