Abstract
Using the martingale approach, the optimal strategy of an expected utility maximizer is shown to include, in addition to the traditional pure hedge and speculative components, only two Merton-Breeden-type hedging elements instead of K hedging elements associated with the (potentially numerous) K state variables driving the investment opportunity set. The first one is associated with interest rate risk and the second one with the risk brought about by co-movements of the spot interest rate and market prices of risk.
