We consider a portfolio optimization problem of the Black-Litterman type, in which we use the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) as the risk measure and we use the multi-variate elliptical distributions, instead of the multi-variate normal distribution, to model the financial asset returns. We...

a multi-asset version of the downside risk CAPM. In line with the empirical literature, they find that the cross …-section of realized returns is much better explained when using the downside risk CAPM, rather than relying on the traditional … CAPM. However, in contrast to the empirical literature, the authors cannot always recover the required signs in their cross …

We propose a consistent and computationally efficient 2-step methodology for the estimation of multidimensional non-Gaussian asset models built using Lévy processes. The proposed framework allows for dependence between assets and different tail-behaviors and jump structures for each asset. Our...
