Optimality and diversifiability of mean variance and arbitrage pricing portfolios

Pesaran, M. Hashem; Zaffaroni, Paolo - 2009

This paper investigates the limit properties of mean-variance (mv) and arbitrage pricing (ap) trading strategies using a general dynamic factor model, as the number of assets diverge to infinity. It extends the results obtained in the literature for the exact pricing case to two other cases of...

Optimal asset allocation with factor models for large portfolios

Pesaran, M. Hashem (contributor); … - 2008

This paper characterizes the asymptotic behaviour, as the number of assets gets arbitrarily large, of the portfolio weights for the class of tangency portfolios belonging to the Markowitz paradigm. It is assumed that the joint distribution of asset returns is characterized by a general factor...

Testing for alpha in linear factor pricing podels with a large number of securities

Pesaran, M. Hashem; Yamagata, Takashi - 2017

This paper proposes a novel test of zero pricing errors for the linear factor pricing model when the number of securities, N, can be large relative to the time dimension, T, of the return series. The test is based on Student t tests of individual securities and has a number of advantages over...

The cost efficiency of UK debt management : a recursive modelling approach

Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2000

This paper presents an empirical analysis of the efficiency of the UK debt management authorities's (DMA) behaviour from a cost minimisation perspective over the period January 1985 to March 1995. During this period, the maturity structure of the government's bond portfolio was subject to...

Model averaging and value-at-risk based evaluation of large multi asset volatility models for risk management

Pesaran, M. Hashem (contributor); … - 2004

This paper considers the problem of model uncertainty in the case of multi-asset volatility models and discusses the use of model averaging techniques as a way of dealing with the risk of inadvertently using false models in portfolio management. In particular, it is shown that under certain...
