Abstract: | This paper develops a continuous time risk-sensitive portfolio optimization model with a general transaction cost structure
and where the individual securities or asset categories are explicitly affected by underlying economic factors. The security
prices and factors follow diffusion processes with the drift and diffusion coefficients for the securities being functions
of the factor levels. We develop methods of risk sensitive impulsive control theory in order to maximize an infinite horizon
objective that is natural and features the long run expected growth rate, the asymptotic variance, and a single risk aversion
parameter. The optimal trading strategy has a simple characterization in terms of the security prices and the factor levels.
Moreover, it can be computed by solving a {\it risk sensitive quasi-variational inequality}. The Kelly criterion case is also
studied, and the various results are related to the recent work by Morton and Pliska.
