An Asymptotic Analysis of the Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives an asymptotic analysis of the mean-variance (Markowitz-type) portfolio selection under mild assumptions on the market behavior. Theoretical results show the rate of underperformance of the risk aware Markowitz-type portfolio strategy in growth rate compared to the log-optimal portfolio strategy, which does not have explicit risk control. Statements are given with and without full knowledge of the statistical properties of the underlying process generating the market, under the only assumption that the market is stationary and ergodic. The experiments show how the achieved wealth depends on the coefficient of absolute risk aversion measured on past NYSE data.

The Tail Mean-Variance Model and Extended Efficient Frontier
In portfolio theory, it is well-known that the distributions of stock returns often have non-Gaussian characteristics. Therefore, we need non-symmetric distributions for modeling and accurate analysis of actuarial data. For this purpose and optimal portfolio selection, we use the Tail Mean-Variance (TMV) model, which focuses on the rare risks but high losses and usually happens in the tail of r...
متن کاملPortfolio Performance Evaluation in a Modified Mean-Variance-Skewness Framework with Negative Data
The present study is an attempt toward evaluating the performance of portfolios using mean-variance-skewness model with negative data. Mean-variance non-linear framework and mean-variance-skewness non- linear framework had been proposed based on Data Envelopment Analysis, which the variance of the assets had been used as an input to the DEA and expected return and skewness were the output. C...

متن کاملPossibilistic mean-variance utility to portfolio selection for bounded assets
Compared with the conventional probabilistic mean-variance methodology, fuzzy number can better describe an uncertain environment with vagueness and ambiguity. Based on this fact, possibilistic mean-variance utilities to portfolio selection for bounded assets are discussed in this paper. The possibilistic mean value of the expected return is termed measure of investment return and the possibili...
