Description

Master the principles of long-run wealth maximization with this definitive volume on the Kelly capital growth criterion. Part of the World Scientific Handbook in Financial Economics Series, this text explores the mathematical foundations of fortune's formula and its application in financial decision-making. The book explains how to maximize period-by-period expected utility of wealth using a logarithmic utility function. This approach is backed by mathematical theorems proving that log utility is the only method to maximize asymptotic long-run wealth while minimizing the time needed to reach large financial goals. While the strategy involves short-term risk, the mathematical framework demonstrates that as the number of bets increases, a Kelly bettor's wealth tends to grow significantly larger than those using other methods. This is an essential resource for those studying game theory, optimization, and advanced financial economics.
