Abstract: A macro model of a financial market is presented in which the actors are portfolio investors and the securities are a share and a one-period bond. Each investor makes periodic portfolio and consumption decisions on the basis of the share?s price and expected return, and other relevant variables. The decisions of the investors are independent of each other, but price and expected return adjust so that investors in aggregate are persuaded to hold the outstanding quantities of bonds and shares. Simulation of the model is consistent with U.S. experience with respect to the mean and the variance of the holding-period return on the S&P 500, portfolio composition, and other financial market variables. Expansion of the model to include additional securities and actors is discussed.
