Estimation risk is known to have a huge impact on mean/variance (MV) optimized portfolios,which is one of the primary reasons to make standard Markowitz optimization unfeasible inpractice. Several approaches to incorporate estimation risk into portfolio selection are suggestedin the earlier...

Structural positions are very common in investment practice. A structural position is defined as a permanent overweighting of a riskier asset class relative to a prespecified benchmark portfolio. The most prominent example for a structural position is the equity bias in a balanced fund that...

U.S. investors hold much less international stock than is optimal according to mean–variance portfolio theory applied to historical data. We investigated whether this home bias can be explained by Bayesian approaches to international asset allocation. In comparison with mean–variance...
