This article studies the impact of carbon risk on stock pricing. To address this, we consider the seminal approach of Görgen et al. (2019), who proposed estimating the carbon financial risk of equities by their carbon beta. To achieve this, the primary task is to develop a brown-minus-green (or...

This article develops the theory of risk budgeting portfolios, when we would like to impose weight constraints. It appears that the mathematical problem is more complex than the traditional risk budgeting problem. The formulation of the optimization program is particularly critical in order to...

Research in hedge fund investing proposes different solutions to build optimal hedge fund portfolios. However, these solutions are direct extensions of the usual meanvariance framework, and still suffer from model risks. More complex approaches start to be used but are related to numerous...

The mean-variance optimization (MVO) theory of Markowitz (1952) for portfolio selection is one of the most important methods used in quantitative finance. This portfolio allocation needs two input parameters, the vector of expected returns and the covariance matrix of asset returns. This process...

In this article, we consider a new framework to understand risk-based portfolios (GMV, EW, ERC and MDP). This framework is similar to the constrained minimum variance model of Jurczenko et al. (2013), but with another definition of the diversification constraint. The corresponding optimization...

Momentum risk premium is one of the most important alternative risk premia. Since it is considered a market anomaly, it is not always well understood. Many publications on this topic are therefore based on backtesting and empirical results. However, some academic studies have developed a...
