Abstract

This paper deals with interactive multiple fund investment situations, in which investors can invest their capital in a number of funds. The investors, however, face some restrictions. In particular, the investment opportunities of an investor depend on the behaviour of the other investors. Moreover, the individual investment returns may differ. We consider this situation from a cooperative game theory point of view. Based on different assumptions modelling the gains of joint investment, we consider three corresponding games and analyse their properties. We propose an allocation process for the maximal total investment revenues.
