Multi-period mean-variance portfolio selection with Markov regime switching and uncertain time-horizon

This paper investigates a multi-period mean-variance portfolio selection with regime switching and uncertain exit time. The returns of assets all depend on the states of the stochastic market which are assumed to follow a discrete-time Markov chain. The authors derive the optimal strategy and the efficient frontier of the model in closed-form. Some results in the existing literature are obtained as special cases of our results.
