Portfolios generated by optimal transport
نویسنده
چکیده
First introduced by Fernholz in stochastic portfolio theory, functionally generated portfolio allows its investment performance to be attributed to directly observable and easily interpretable market quantities. In previous works we showed that Fernholz’s multiplicatively generated portfolios have deep connections with optimal transport and the information geometry of exponentially concave functions. Recently, Ruf and Karatzas introduced a new additive portfolio generation whose relation with optimal transport was studied by Vervuurt. We show that additively generated portfolios can be interpreted in terms of the celebrated dually flat information geometry of Bregman divergence. Moreover, we characterize, in a sense to be made precise, all possible forms of functional portfolio generation that contain the two known constructions as special cases. Each construction involves a divergence functional on the unit simplex measuring the volatility captured, and admits a pathwise decomposition for the portfolio value.

On the Computation of Optimal Monotone Mean-Variance Portfolios via Truncated Quadratic Utility
We report a surprising link between optimal portfolios generated by a special type of variational preferences called divergence preferences (cf. [8]) and optimal portfolios generated by classical expected utility. As a special case we connect optimization of truncated quadratic utility (cf. [2]) to the optimal monotone mean-variance portfolios (cf. [9]), thus simplifying the computation of the ...
متن کاملThe Link between Asymmetric and Symmetric Optimal Portfolios in Fads Models
We study a financial market where asymmetric information, mispricing and jumps exist, and link the random optimal portfolios of informed and uninformed investors to the deterministic optimal portfolio of the symmetric market, where no mispricing exists. In particular, we show that under quadratic approximation, the expectation of the random optimal portfolio in the asymmetric market is equal to...
متن کاملPortfolio Choice and the Effects of Liquidity
This paper discusses how to introduce liquidity into the well known mean-variance framework of portfolio selection using a representative sample of Spanish equity portfolios. Either by estimating mean-variance liquidity constrained frontiers or directly estimating optimal portfolios for alternative levels of risk aversion and preference for liquidity, we obtain strong effects of liquidity on op...
متن کاملAsset Allocation and Risk Assessment with Gross Exposure Constraints for Vast Portfolios
Markowitz (1952, 1959) laid down the ground-breaking work on the mean-variance analysis. Under his framework, the theoretical optimal allocation vector can be very different from the estimated one for large portfolios due to the intrinsic difficulty of estimating a vast covariance matrix and return vector. This can result in adverse performance in portfolio selected based on empirical data due ...
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...
