Abstract

We study a reinforcement learning approach to portfolio selection when the underlying asset price process follows a regime-switching diffusion model. An analytical solution to the HJB equation for the exploratory mean-variance model under regime switching is derived and implementation in practice employing a deep neural network will be discussed. Empirical results investigating robustness with respect to model mis-specification will also be presented.
