‘To Have What They are Having’: Portfolio Choice for Mimicking Mean-Variance Savers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a group of mean-variance investors with mimicking desire such that each investor is willing to penalize deviations of his portfolio composition from compositions of other group members. Penalizing norm constraints are already applied for statistical improvement of Markowitz portfolio procedure in order to cope with estimation risk. We relate these penalties to individuals’ wish of social learning and introduce a mutual fund (investment club) aggregating group member preferences unknown for individual savers. We derive the explicit analytical solution for the fund’s optimal portfolio weights and show advantages to invest in such a fund for individuals willing to mimic.

Mimicking Portfolios with Conditioning Information
Mimicking portfolios have long been useful in asset pricing research. In most empirical applications, the portfolio weights are assumed to be fixed over time, while in theory they may be functions of the economic state. This paper derives and characterizes mimicking portfolios in the presence of predetermined state variables, or conditioning information. The results generalize and integrate mul...

Abstract With the introduction of mean-variance model Markowitz took a giant step in modeling and optimizing portfolio type problems. But his model is based upon some assumptions that rarely they can hold in practice. For this reason, many researchers have taken steps both theoretical and practical to make some improvements to his standard mean-variance model. Up to now different risk criteria...

متن کاملA Note on Portfolio Selections under Various Risk Measures Enrico
This work gives a brief overview of the portfolio selection problem following the mean-risk approach first proposed by Markowitz (1952). We consider various risk measures, i.e. variance, value-at-risk and expected-shortfall and we study the efficient frontiers obtained by solving the portfolio selection problem under these measures. We show that under the assumption that returns are normally di...
