In this paper we investigate a new class of growth rate maximization problems based on impulse control strategies such that the average number of trades per  unit does not exceed a fixed level. Moreover, we include proportional transaction costs to make the portfolio problem more realistic. We provide a Verification Theorem to compute the optimal growth rate as well as an optimal trading strategy. Furthermore, we prove the existence of a constant boundary strategy which is optimal. At the end, we compare our approach to other discrete-time growth rate maximization problems in numerical examples  .
