چکیده
This paper shows how one can use the theory of hidden Markov models for portfolio optimization. We illustrate our method by a ball and urn experiment. An application to historical data is examined.

Dynamic optimal portfolio choice in a jump-diffusion model with investment constraints
We consider the dynamic portfolio choice problem in a jump-diffusion model, where an investor may face constraints on her portfolio weights: for instance, no-short-selling constraints. It is a daunting task to use standard numerical methods to solve a constrained portfolio choice problem, especially when there is a large number of state variables. By suitably embedding the constrained problem i...
متن کاملConstructing the optimal portfolio: estimation of actual portfolio risk and choice of securities with the genetic algorithm
Drawing upon Markowitz’s mean–variance model, this paper proposes a method for constructing an optimal portfolio using historical data for the estimation of portfolio risk and the choice of securities. First, we establish that the portfolio risk produced by substituting the estimates of the means and the covariance matrix in Markowitz’s formula has a serious downward bias relative to the actual...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption and Portfolio Choice under Ambiguity for a Mean-reverting Risk Premium in Complete Markets
This paper explicitly solves, in closed form, the optimal consumption and portfolio choice for an ambiguity averse investor in a Merton-type two assets economy where a risk premium follows a mean-reverting process. The investor’s preferences are represented by the recursive multiple priors utility model developed by Chen and Epstein (2002). The investor’s utility depends on both intermediate co...
متن کاملPortfolio Optimization with Position Constraints: an Approximate Dynamic Programming Approach
We analyze dynamic portfolio choice problems using an approximate dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm. We extend the algorithm to the case of constraints on borrowing and implement a duality-based simulation procedure for estimating bounds on the true value function. We demonstrate that the ADP solution exhibits a high degree of accuracy in the considered examples, indicating that this is a pro...
متن کاملThree steps method for portfolio optimization by using Conditional Value at Risk measure
Comprehensive methods must be used for portfolio optimization. For this purpose, financial data of stock companies, inputs and outputs variable, the risk measure and investor’s preferences must be considered. By considering these items, we propose a method for portfolio optimization. In this paper, we used financial data of companies for screening the stock companies. We used Conditional Value ...
