We implement a long-horizon static and dynamic portfolio allocation involving a risk-free and a risky asset. This model is calibrated at a quarterly frequency for ten European countries. We also use maximum-likelihood estimates and Bayesian estimates to account for parameter uncertainty. We find...

Value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) are popular risk measures from academic, industrial and regulatory perspectives. The problem of minimizing CVaR is theoretically known to be of a Neyman-Pearson type binary solution. We add a constraint on expected return to investigate...

In this paper, we focus on the portfolio optimization problem associated to a quasiconvex risk measure (satisfying some additional assumptions). For coherent/convex risk measures, the portfolio optimization problem has been already studied by Gaivoronski and Pflug (2005), Rockafellar and Uryasev...

This paper originally proposes two unique closed-form solutions, respectively to risky assets only and a risk-free asset existing situations, of the mean-variance-skewness (MVS) optimization model subject to mean-sknewness-normalization constraints for portfolio selection. The efficient frontier...

The purpose of this article is to evaluate optimal expected utility risk measures (OEU) in a risk- constrained portfolio optimization context where the expected portfolio return is maximized. We compare the portfolio optimization with OEU constraint to a portfolio selection model using value at...

Within the finance literature there is an apparent gap between the inherent risk premium ignorance of a risk parity approach on the one hand and the assumed risk premium clairvoyance of a mean variance approach on the other. We propose a portfolio selection framework that allows an investor to...

Enhanced Indexation is the problem of selecting a portfolio that should produce excess return with respect to a given benchmark index. In this work we propose a linear bi-objective optimization approach to Enhanced Indexation that maximizes average excess return and minimizes underperformance...

The purpose of this research is the realistic forecast of volatility in frame of a risk parity class of strategies. The custom rescaling of volatility – naïve risk parity - doesn't consider market inefficiencies which correspond to cyclical patterns like crisis and the following recovery. The...

We introduce and explore Gini-type measures of risk and variability, and develop the corresponding economic capital allocation rules. The new measures are coherent, additive for co-monotonic risks, convenient computationally, and require only finiteness of the mean. To elucidate our theoretical...
