We describe a simple robust technique for incorporating any type of views on expected returns into the Risk parity framework. Optimal allocations with views are characterized by two key properties. First, assets that are not subject to views remain at risk parity. Second, agnostic (cautious)...

Risk parity has been considered a heuristic asset allocation method. In this paper, we show that, to the contrary, risk parity is a special case of a mean-risk type of a portfolio optimization problem with log-regularization to constrain weights. We show that log-regularization leads to a fund...

Striving for maximum diversification we follow Meucci (2009) in measuring and managing a multi-asset class portfolio. Under this paradigm the maximum diversification portfolio is equivalent to a risk parity strategy with respect to the uncorrelated risk sources embedded in the underlying...
