Summary: This project will seek to capture the reality of financial markets by analysing optimal dynamic portfolio strategies and asset pricing relationships when investors have heterogeneous expectations of future evolution of asset returns, and adopt evolutionary trading strategies. Such characteristics typify the modern economy that is populated by investors whose trading strategies are the outcome of different expectations and evolve according to market outcomes. Market data will be used to quantify the manner in which these heterogeneous characteristics cause portfolio allocation rules and equilibrium asset pricing relationships to differ from those based on classical dynamic portfolio optimisation theory where all investors are homogeneous.
