We derive allocation rules under isoelastic utility for a mixed jump-diffusion process in a two-asset portfolio selection problem with finite horizon in the presence of proportional transaction costs. We adopt a discrete-time formulation, let the number of periods go to infinity, and show that it converges efficiently to the continuous-time solution for the cases where this solution is known. We then apply this discretization to derive numerically the boundaries of the region of no transactions. Our discrete-time numerical approach outperforms alternative continuous-time approximations of the problem.
