We study effects of correlation ambiguity on portfolio choice when the number of risky assets is large. We find that the optimal portfolio contains only a fraction of available risky assets. With 100 stocks randomly selected from the S&P 500, less than 20 stocks will be held in the optimal...

We theoretically and empirically study large-scale portfolio allocation problems when transaction costs are taken into account in the optimization problem. We show that transaction costs act on the one hand as a turnover penalization and on the other hand as a regularization, which shrinks the...

Deriving an optimal asset allocation for institutional investors hinges crucially on the quality of inputs used in the optimization. If the mean vector and the covariance matrix are known with certainty, the classical mean-variance optimization of Markowitz (1952) produces optimal portfolios....
