Abstract: This paper investigates Merton's portfolio problem in a rough stochastic environment described by Volterra Heston model. The model has a non-Markovian and non-semimartingale structure. By considering an auxiliary random process, we solve the portfolio optimization problem with the martingale optimality principle. Optimal strategies for power and exponential utilities are derived in semi-closed form solutions depending on the respective Riccati-Volterra equations. We numerically examine the relationship between investment demand and volatility roughness.
