Stochastic Interest Rates and the Bond-Stock Mix

Michael J. Brennan and Yihong Xia

Review of Finance, 2000, vol. 4, issue 2, 197-210

Abstract: The optimal bond-stock mix is examined in light of an apparent inconsistency between the Tobin Separation Theorem and the advice of popular investment advisors which has been pointed out by Canner et al. (1997).It is shown that the apparent inconsistency is largely explicable in terms of the hedging demands of optimising long-term investors in an environment in which the investment opportunity set is subject to stochastic shocks. The analysis points to the importance of considering investors' time horizons in analyzing optimal portfolio policies.
