Abstract

In this paper we consider a continuous-time Markowitz mean-variance type portfolio optimization problem where the variance is replaced by a Earnings-at-Risk (EaR) of terminal wealth. In a Black-Scholes setting of financial markets, we obtain closed-form expressions for best constant-rebalanced portfolio investment strategies and the mean-EaR efficient frontier.
