Since trading cannot take place continuously, the optimal portfolio calculated ina continuous-time model cannot be held, but the investor has to implement thecontinuous-time strategy in discrete time. This leads to the question how severe theresulting discretization error is. We analyze this...

Since trading cannot take place continuously, the optimal portfolio calculated in a continuous-time model cannot be held, but the investor has to implement the continuous-time strategy in discrete time. This leads to the question how severe the resulting discretization error is. We analyze this...

Optimal portfolio strategies are easy to compute in continuous-time models. In reality trading is discrete, so that these optimal strategies cannot be implemented properly. When the investor follows a naive discretization strategy, i.e. when he implements the optimal continuous-time strategy in...
