Abstract: This paper studies some unconventional utility maximization problems when the ratio type relative portfolio performance is periodically evaluated over an infinite horizon. Meanwhile, the agent is prohibited from short-selling stocks. Our goal is to understand the impact of the periodic reward structure on the long-run constrained portfolio strategy. For power and logarithmic utilities, we can reformulate the original problem into an auxiliary one-period optimization problem. To cope with the auxiliary problem with no short-selling, the dual control problem is introduced and studied, which gives the characterization of the candidate optimal portfolio within one period. With the help of the results from the auxiliary problem, the value function and the optimal constrained portfolio for the original problem with periodic evaluation can be derived and verified, allowing us to discuss some financial implications under the new performance paradigm.
