In particular, we introduce a portfolio selection algorithm that maximizes the expected cumulative wealth in i.i.d. two-asset discrete-time markets where the market levies proportional transaction costs in buying and selling stocks. This is achieved by using 'threshold rebalanced portfolios', where trading occurs only if the portfolio breaches certain thresholds. Under the assumption that the relative price sequences have log-normal distribution from the Black-Scholes model, we evaluate the expected wealth under proportional transaction costs and find the threshold rebalanced portfolio that achieves the maximal expected cumulative wealth over any investment period. © 2013 IEEE.Englishcontinuous distributiondiscrete-time marketPortfolio managementthreshold rebalancingtransaction costBuying and selling stocksContinuous distributionLog-normal distributionOptimal investmentsPortfolio managementsProportional transaction costsRebalancingTransaction costCommerceCostsFinancial data processingSequential switchingSignal processingInvestmentsConference Paper10.1109/ICASSP.2013.6639368
