摘 要:
We propose a general framework for portfolio optimization by using a new objective function: a weighted average of the probabilities of fullling multiple goals, including consumption goals at different times and concurrent goals with multiple partial fulllment alternatives. This objective function accommodates both standard and non-standard risk preferences and is relatively easy to be understood by non-experts. In the absence of portfolio constraints, the optimal strategy replicates a sequence of digital options, where each option's expiration and favorable payoff align precisely with a consumption goal. With portfolio constraints, wealth distribution tends to cluster around the goals at their deadline, leading to risk reduction near goals and increased risk-seeking when wealth is distant from goals. Consequently, a high-volatility portfolio, potentially off the efficient frontier, becomes locally optimal. Furthermore, it is optimal to prioritize current consumption goals when future goals are unlikely due to low wealth or when abundant wealth increases the likelihood of achieving both current and future goals, leading to multiple switches between immediate consumption and investing for future goals.
