A Fuzzy Approach to Mean-CDaR Portfolio Optimization

This paper develops a bi-objective portfolio selection problem that maximizes returns and minimizes a risk measure called conditional Drawdown (CDD). The drawdown measures include the maximal Drawdown and Average Drawdown as its limiting case. The CDD family of risk functional is similar to conditional value at Risk (CVaR). In this paper, the fuzzy method has been used to solve the bi-objec...

On Robust Multi-period Pre-commitment and Time-consistent Mean-variance Portfolio Optimization

We consider robust pre-commitment and time-consistent mean-variance optimal asset allocation strategies, that are required to perform well also in a worst-case scenario regarding the development of the asset price. We show that worst-case scenarios for both strategies can be found by solving a specific equation each time step. In the unconstrained asset allocation case, the robust pre-commitmen...

Convex Duality in Constrained Mean-variance Portfolio Optimization

Application of Clayton Copula in Portfolio Optimization and its Comparison with Markowitz Mean-Variance Analysis

With the aim of portfolio optimization and management, this article utilizes the Clayton-copula along with copula theory measures. Portfolio-Optimization is one of the activities in investment funds. Thus, it is essential to select an appropriate optimization method. In modern financial analyses, there is growing evidence indicating the distribution of proceeds of financial properties is not cu...
