Safety-first portfolio optimization : fixed versus random target
Singer, Nico - 2010 - This version: August 4, 2010
This paper analyzes the safety-first portfolio model under two different target assumptions, the fixed target, which is commonly assumed in the literature, and the random target, which has played only a minor role so far. As both targets can be easily motivated, the open question is, which...

Sample Selection Bias, Return Moments, and the Performance of Optimal versus Naive Diversification
Li, Bowei - 2016
I examine the sample selection bias in portfolio horse race. Numerous studies propose mean-variance portfolio rules to outperform the naive 1/N portfolio rule. However, the outperformance is often justified by a small number of pre-selected datasets. Using a new performance test based on a large...

Does it pay to invest in art? : a selection-corrected returns perspective
Korteweg, Arthur; Kräussl, Roman; Verwijmeren, Patrick - 2013
This paper shows the importance of correcting for sample selection when investing in illiquid assets with endogenous trading. Using a large sample of 20,538 paintings that were sold repeatedly at auction between 1972 and 2010, we find that paintings with higher price appreciation are more likely...

A Comparison of the Efficacy of Liquidity, Momentum, Size and Book-to-Market Value Factors in Equity Pricing on a Heterogeneous Sample : Evidence from Asia
Hearn, Bruce Allen - 2016
This paper compares the size and book-to-market value factors of Fama and French (1993) alongside Momentum of Jagadeesh and Titman (1993) with two Liu (2006) liquidity factors formed from 1 year rebalancing and 1 month rebalancing respectively. A heterogeneous and comprehensive sample of the top...

Does It Pay to Invest in Art? A Selection-Corrected Returns Perspective
Korteweg, Arthur G. - 2017
This paper shows the importance of correcting for sample selection when investing in illiquid assets that trade endogenously. Using a sample of 32,928 paintings that sold repeatedly between 1960 and 2013, we find an asymmetric V-shaped relation between sale probabilities and returns. Adjusting...

Generalized Performance Measures : Optimal Overweighing of Fees Relative to Sample Returns
Levy, Moshe - 2017
Performance measures such as alpha and the Sharpe ratio are typically based on sample returns net of fees. This implies the same weighing to sample returns and to fees. However, sample return parameters are noisy estimates of true parameters, while fees are known with certainty. Thus, intuition...
