Monotone Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection in Semimartingale Markets: Martingale Method
Abstract
We use the martingale method to discuss the relationship between mean-variance (MV) and monotone mean-variance (MMV) portfolio selections. We propose a unified framework to discuss the relationship in general financial markets without any specific setting or completeness requirement. We apply this framework to a semimartingale market and find that MV and MMV are consistent if and only if the variance-optimal signed martingale measure keeps non-negative. Further, we provide an example to show the application of our result.
