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...

Our objective is to investigate the effect of model misspecification on mean-variance portfolios and to show how asset-pricing theory and asymptotic analysis (for large number of assets) can be used to provide powerful solutions to mitigate misspecification. The starting point of our analysis is...
