Abstract:

Financial returns exhibit stylized facts such as leptokurtosis, skewness and heavy-tailness. Regarding this behavior, in this paper, we apply multivariate generalized hyperbolic (mGH) distribution for portfolio modeling and performance evaluation, using conditional value at risk (CVaR) as a risk measure and allocating best weights for portfolio selection. Moreover, a robust portfolio optimization and performance evaluation modeling in mGH framework are developed, using worst case CVaR (WCVaR) as a risk measure. Due to the fact that expected returns can take negative values, the introduced model is inspired by Range Directional Measure model. Finally, real data in Iran stock market are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the model.

CVaR Robust Mean - CVaR Portfolio Optimization

One of the most important problems faced by every investor is asset allocation. An investor during making investment decisions has to search for equilibrium between risk and returns. Risk ‎and ‎return are uncertain parameters in ‎the ‎suggested portfolio optimization models and should be estimated to solve the‎problem. The estimation might‎ lead ‎to ‎large ‎error in the final decision. One of t...

Portfolio selection under distributional uncertainty: A relative robust CVaR approach

Robust optimization, one of the most popular topics in the field of optimization and control since the late 1990s, deals with an optimization problem involving uncertain parameters. In this paper, we consider the relative robust conditional value-at-risk portfolio selection problem where the underlying probability distribution of portfolio return is only known to belong to a certain set. Our ap...

Fragility of CVaR in portfolio optimization

We evaluate conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) as a risk measure in data-driven portfolio optimization. We show that portfolios obtained by solving mean-CVaR and global minimum CVaR problems are unreliable due to estimation errors of CVaR and/or the mean, which are aggravated by optimization. This problem is exacerbated when the tail of the return distribution is made heavier. We conclude that CV...

CVAR-Constrained Multi-Period Power Portfolio Optimization

We consider power portfolio optimization of real and contractual assets, including derivative instruments in a multi-period setting. A model is introduced that incorporates fixed transmission rights in a three-node unidirectional network in order to evaluate the significance of transmission constraints. We use data from the PJM, which is located in the eastern United States for model implementa...

Tractable Robust Expected Utility and Risk Models for Portfolio Optimization

Expected utility models in portfolio optimization is based on the assumption of complete knowledge of the distribution of random returns. In this paper, we relax this assumption to the knowledge of only the mean, covariance and support information. No additional assumption on the type of distribution such as normality is made. The investor’s utility is modeled as a piecewise-linear concave func...

Growth-Optimal Portfolio Selection under CVaR Constraints

Online portfolio selection research has so far focused mainly on minimizing regret defined in terms of wealth growth. Practical financial decision making, however, is deeply concerned with both wealth and risk. We consider online learning of portfolios of stocks whose prices are governed by arbitrary (unknown) stationary and ergodic processes, where the goal is to maximize wealth while keeping ...
