Benchmark-relative power-utility portfolio (${\pi }^{\ast }=R^{-1}{V}^{-1}(\mu -r1)+(1-R^{-1})q$)

In a Brownian complete market with constant coefficients and nonsingular $\sigma$, maximize expected CRRA utility of terminal portfolio wealth divided by a geometric stock index. Writing $p=1/R$ and $q=n^{-1}1$, the pointwise marginal condition gives $w_T^{\ast }={\lambda }^{-p}{\zeta }_T^{-p}{J}_T^{1-p}$. Its state-price budget constraint determines ${\lambda }^{-p}=w_0/\mathbb{E}[({\zeta }_T{J}_T{)}^{1-p}]$. Conditional lognormal moments and replication then give the displayed constant dollar fractions. The first term is ordinary optimal risk exposure; the second hedges the random benchmark. The bank holds the remaining fraction, which can be negative when borrowing is allowed.
