Abstract
This dissertation analyzes the capital allocation problem for commercial banks with the objective of maximizing long-term growth rate of wealth. In particular, a bank is faced with the problem of deciding how to allocate its capital into the available multi-period commercial loan products. Under common financial regulations and mild assumptions concerning the bank's internal policies, we prove the existence of a policy that yields the near-optimal long-term growth rate almost surely. The almost sure property implies that it is the best policy for policy makers, regardless of their risk tolerance levels, who wish to maximize the bank's long-term growth rate of wealth. Since the exact algorithms for this problem usually have an impractical computational complexity, we provide an efficient approximate algorithm to solve for an approximated policy and demonstrate its effectiveness in a numerical example.
