Random Matrix Theory and Fund of Funds Portfolio Optimisation
The proprietary nature of Hedge Fund investing means that it is common practise for managers to release minimal information about their returns. The construction of a Fund of Hedge Funds portfolio requires a correlation matrix which often has to be estimated using a relatively small sample of monthly returns data which induces noise. In this paper random matrix theory (RMT) is applied to a cros...
متن کاملApplying a global optimisation algorithm to Fund of Hedge Funds portfolio optimisation
Portfolio optimisation for a Fund of Hedge Funds (“FoHF”) has to address the asymmetric, non-Gaussian nature of the underlying returns distributions. Furthermore, the objective functions and constraints are not necessarily convex or even smooth. Therefore traditional portfolio optimisation methods such as mean-variance optimisation are not appropriate for such problems and global search optimis...
متن کاملA note on portfolio selection, diversification and Fund-of-Funds*
This paper examines the performance and diversification properties of active Australian equity fund-of-funds (FoF). Simulation analysis is employed to examine portfolio performance as a function of the number of funds in the portfolio. The paper finds that as the number of funds in a FoF portfolio increases, performance improves in a mean-variance setting, however measures of skewness and kurto...
متن کاملThe Alpha in Fund of Hedge Funds Do Fund of Hedge Funds Managers Add Value?
All hedge funds are not created equal. A poorly chosen portfolio of hedge funds can produce disappointing results. All fund of funds managers are not created equal, either. A poor choice of fund of funds managers can yield disappointing results. This article is designed to outline the value proposition of a fund of hedge funds operation. We conclude that fund of funds add value primarily throug...
متن کاملOptimal construction of a fund of funds
We study the problem of diversifying a given initial capital over a finite number of investment funds that follow different trading strategies. The investment funds operate in a market where a finite number of underlying assets may be traded over finite discrete time. We present a numerical procedure for finding a diversification that is optimal in the sense of a given convex risk measure. The ...
