It shows how to modify the usual Almgren-Chriss framework to obtain dedicated trading curves.Moreover, an algebraic approach that can help to solve explicitly a lot of strategic embeddings and a geometrical interpretation of the “averaging” processes that are typically encountered during such optimisations are presented.TOPICS: Statistical methods, portfolio management/multi-asset allocation, analysis of individual factors/risk premia
