SURVIVAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES IN A CONTINUOUS-TIME MARKET MODEL WITH COMPETITION

Abstract

We consider a stochastic game-theoretic model of an investment market in continuous time with short-lived assets and study strategies, called survival, which guarantee that the relative wealth of an investor who uses such a strategy remains bounded away from zero. The main results consist in obtaining a sufficient condition for a strategy to be survival and showing that all survival strategies are asymptotically close to each other. It is also proved that a survival strategy allows an investor to accumulate wealth in a certain sense faster than competitors.
