The aim of this paper is to consider the characteristics of the numerical equilibrium solution of the stochastic linear quadratic models (SLQ) along with possible applications in financial modelling. The purpose of this approach is to find feedback control function that maximizes the portfolio value keeping the condition that stock prices are modeled by stochastic differential equation. Two iterations – the Newton iteration and the Lyapunov iteration for solving the generalized algebraic Riccati equation, associated with the stochastic linear-quadratic problem in an infinite time horizon are discussed. We compare these iterations with the approach based on the solution to a semidefinite programming problem. Finally, in order to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms, computational examples are provided and numerical effectiveness of the considered algorithms is commented
