چکیده

We investigate a class of distributionally robust optimization problems that have direct applications in finance. They are semi-infinite programming problems with ambiguous expectation constraints in which fractional functions represent reward-risk ratios. We develop a reformulation and algorithmic data-driven framework based on the Wasserstein metric to model ambiguity and to derive probabilistic guarantee that the ambiguity set contains the true probability distribution. The reformulation phase involves the derivation of the support function of the ambiguity set and the concave conjugate of the ratio function, and yields a mathematical programming problem in a finite dimensional constraint space. We design modular bisection algorithms with finite convergence property. We specify new ambiguous portfolio optimization models for the Sharpe, Sortino, Sortino-Satchel, and Omega ratios. The computational study shows the applicability and scalability of the framework to solve large, industry-relevant size problems.

Using MODEA and MODM with Different Risk Measures for Portfolio Optimization

The purpose of this study is to develop portfolio optimization and assets allocation using our proposed models. The study is based on a non-parametric efficiency analysis tool, namely Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Conventional DEA models assume non-negative data for inputs and outputs. However, many of these data take the negative value, therefore we propose the MeanSharp-βRisk (MShβR) model...

Portfolio Optimization Based on Cross Efficiencies By Linear Model of Conditional Value at Risk Minimization

Markowitz model is the first modern formulation of portfolio optimization problem. Relyingon historical return of stocks as basic information and using variance as a risk measure aretow drawbacks of this model. Since Markowitz model has been presented, many effortshave been done to remove theses drawbacks. On one hand several better risk measures havebeen introduced and proper models have been ...

Optimal Financial Portfolios

This article considers classes of reward-risk optimization problems that arise from different choices of reward and risk measures. In certain examples the generic problem reduces to linear or quadratic programming problems. We state an algorithm based on a sequence of convex feasibility problems for the general quasiconcave ratio problem. We also consider reward-risk ratios that are appropriate...

Distributionally Robust Reward-Risk Ratio Optimization with Moment Constraints

Reward-risk ratio optimization is an important mathematical approach in finance. We revisit the model by considering a situation where an investor does not have complete information on the distribution of the underlying uncertainty and consequently a robust action is taken to mitigate the risk arising from ambiguity of the true distribution. We consider a distributionally robust reward-risk rat...

Optimal Portfolio Allocation based on two Novel Risk Measures and Genetic Algorithm

The problem of optimal portfolio selection has attracted a great attention in the finance and optimization field. The future stock price should be predicted in an acceptable precision, and a suitable model and criterion for risk and the expected return of the stock portfolio should be proposed in order to solve the optimization problem. In this paper, two new criterions for the risk of stock pr...
