On the Stochastic Dominance of Portfolio Insurance Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper compares the performance of the two main portfolio insurance strategies, namely the Option-Based Portfolio Insurance (OBPI) and the Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI). For this purpose, we use the stochastic dominance approach. We provide several explicit sufficient conditions to get stochastic dominance results. When taking account of specific constraints, we use the consistent statistical test proposed by Barret and Donald [1]. It is similar to the KolmogrovSmirnov test with a complete set of restrictions related to the various forms of stochastic dominance. We find that the CPPI method can perform better than the OBPI one at the third order stochastic dominance.

Real-world datasets for portfolio selection and solutions of some stochastic dominance portfolio models
A large number of portfolio selection models have appeared in the literature since the pioneering work of Markowitz. However, even when computational and empirical results are described, they are often hard to replicate and compare due to the unavailability of the datasets used in the experiments. We provide here several datasets for portfolio selection generated using real-world price values f...
متن کاملPerformance Measurement and Best-Practice Benchmarking of Mutual Funds: Combining Stochastic Dominance criteria with Data Envelopment Analysis
We propose a method for mutual fund performance measurement and best-practice benchmarking, which endogenously identifies a dominating benchmark portfolio for each evaluated mutual fund. Dominating benchmarks provide information about efficiency improvement potential as well as portfolio strategies for achieving them. Portfolio diversification possibilities are accounts for by using Data Envelo...
متن کاملOutperformance Testing of a Dynamic Assets Portfolio Selection Supplemented with a Continuous Paths Levy Process
This study aims at getting a better performance for optimal stock portfolios by modeling stocks prices dynamics through a continuous paths Levy process. To this end, the share prices are simulated using a multi-dimensional geometric Brownian motion model. Then, we use the results to form the optimal portfolio by maximizing the Sharpe ratio and comparing the findings with the outputs of the conv...
متن کاملTowards a Dynamic Asset Allocation Framework for Target Retirement Funds: Getting Rid of the Dogma in Lifecycle Investing
Lifecycle funds offered to retirement plan participants gradually roll down their exposure to stocks while approaching the target date of retirement. This movement away from equities and towards less volatile assets like bonds and cash is done following an asset allocation principle which emphasizes growth of portfolio in the initial years and preservation in the later years. We show that such ...
