Popis: We use a continuous-time model to derive return and wealth distributions for leveraged portfolios over long holding periods. These theoretical distributions closely match empirical distributions obtained from a resampling procedure. The expected annualized return is a concave function of the degree of leverage. With historical parameter values, the function is maximized at 203% stock, borrowing an amount equal to 103% of net wealth. This maximal stock proportion is considerably reduced if the borrowing rate is higher than the historical lending rate.
