We present a modified verification theorem for the equilibrium control of a general class of portfolio problems. The general class of portfolio problems studied in this paper, is characterized by an objective where the investor seeks to maximize a functional of two conditional expectations of terminal wealth. The objective functional is allowed to be non-linear in the conditional expectations, and thus the problem class is in general terms time-inconsistent. In addition, we provide a corrected proof of the verification theorem and apply the theorem to a number of quadratic, time-inconsistent portfolio problems and determine their solutions. Some of the quadratic portfolio problems have not previously been solved analytically.
