Stochastic portfolio theory with price impact

Abstract: We develop a framework for stochastic portfolio theory (SPT), which incorporates modern nonlinear price impact and impact decay models. Our main result derives the celebrated master formula for additive functional generation of trading strategies in a general high-dimensional market model with price impact. We also develop formulas for an investor's relative wealth with respect to the market portfolio, conditions that guarantee positive observed market prices and derive a stochastic differential equation governing the dynamics of the observed price, investor's holdings and price impact processes. As an application of these results, we develop conditions for relative arbitrage in the price impact setting analogous to previously obtained results for the frictionless setting. Numerical experiments are presented to complement the theoretical results.
