Stochastic Portfolio Theory: an Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stochastic Portfolio Theory is a flexible framework for analyzing portfolio behavior and equity market structure. This theory was introduced by E.R. Fernholz in the papers (Journal of Mathematical Economics, 1999; Finance & Stochastics, 2001) and in the monograph Stochastic Portfolio Theory (Springer 2002). It was further developed in the papers Fernholz, Karatzas & Kardaras (Finance & Stochastics, 2005), Fernholz & Karatzas (Annals of Finance, 2005), Banner, Fernholz & Karatzas (Annals of Applied Probability, 2005), and Karatzas & Kardaras (2006). This theory is descriptive, as opposed to normative; it is consistent with observable characteristics of actual portfolios and markets; and it provides a theoretical tool which is useful for practical applications. As a theoretical tool, this framework offers fresh insights into questions of stock market structure and arbitrage, and can be used to construct portfolios with controlled behavior. As a practical tool, Stochastic Portfolio Theory has been applied to the analysis and optimization of portfolio performance and has been the basis of successful investment strategies for over a decade.

متن کاملFUZZY INFORMATION AND STOCHASTICS
In applications there occur different forms of uncertainty. The twomost important types are randomness (stochastic variability) and imprecision(fuzziness). In modelling, the dominating concept to describe uncertainty isusing stochastic models which are based on probability. However, fuzzinessis not stochastic in nature and therefore it is not considered in probabilisticmodels.Since many years t...
