Book Linear and Mixed Integer Programming for Portfolio Optimization

Download or read book Linear and Mixed Integer Programming for Portfolio Optimization written by Renata Mansini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents solutions to the general problem of single period portfolio optimization. It introduces different linear models, arising from different performance measures, and the mixed integer linear models resulting from the introduction of real features. Other linear models, such as models for portfolio rebalancing and index tracking, are also covered. The book discusses computational issues and provides a theoretical framework, including the concepts of risk-averse preferences, stochastic dominance and coherent risk measures. The material is presented in a style that requires no background in finance or in portfolio optimization; some experience in linear and mixed integer models, however, is required. The book is thoroughly didactic, supplementing the concepts with comments and illustrative examples.

Book Fuzzy Portfolio Optimization

Download or read book Fuzzy Portfolio Optimization written by Yong Fang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-20 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the existing portfolio selection models are based on the probability theory. Though they often deal with the uncertainty via probabilistic - proaches, we have to mention that the probabilistic approaches only partly capture the reality. Some other techniques have also been applied to handle the uncertainty of the ?nancial markets, for instance, the fuzzy set theory [Zadeh (1965)]. In reality, many events with fuzziness are characterized by probabilistic approaches, although they are not random events. The fuzzy set theory has been widely used to solve many practical problems, including ?nancial risk management. By using fuzzy mathematical approaches, quan- tative analysis, qualitative analysis, the experts’ knowledge and the investors’ subjective opinions can be better integrated into a portfolio selection model. The contents of this book mainly comprise of the authors’ research results for fuzzy portfolio selection problems in recent years. In addition, in the book, the authors will also introduce some other important progress in the ?eld of fuzzy portfolio optimization. Some fundamental issues and problems of po- folioselectionhavebeenstudiedsystematicallyandextensivelybytheauthors to apply fuzzy systems theory and optimization methods. A new framework for investment analysis is presented in this book. A series of portfolio sel- tion models are given and some of them might be more e?cient for practical applications. Some application examples are given to illustrate these models by using real data from the Chinese securities markets.

Book Statistical and Algorithm Aspects of Optimal Portfolios

Download or read book Statistical and Algorithm Aspects of Optimal Portfolios written by Howard Howan Stephen Shek and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We address three key aspects of optimal portfolio construction: expected return, variance-covariance modeling and optimization in presence of cardinality constraints. On expected return modeling, we extend the self-excited point process framework to model conditional arrival intensities of bid and ask side market orders of listed stocks. The cross-excitation of market orders is modeled explicitly such that the ask side market order size and bid side probability weighted order book cumulative volume can affect the ask side order intensity, and vice versa. Different variations of the framework are estimated by using method of maximum likelihood estimation, based on a recursive application of the log-likelihood functions derived in this thesis. Results indicate that the self-excited point process framework is able to capture a significant amount of the underlying trading dynamics of market orders, both in-sample and out-of-sample. A new framework is introduced, Realized GARCH, for the joint modeling of returns and realized measures of volatility. A key feature is a measurement equation that relates the realized measure to the conditional variance of returns. The measurement equation facilitates a simple modeling of the dependence between returns and future volatility. Realized GARCH models with a linear or log-linear specification have many attractive features. They are parsimonious, simple to estimate, and imply an ARMA structure for the conditional variance and the realized measure. An empirical application with DJIA stocks and an exchange traded index fund shows that a simple Realized GARCH structure leads to substantial improvements in the empirical fit over standard GARCH models. Finally we describe a novel algorithm to obtain the solution of the optimal portfolio problem with NP-hard cardinality constraints. The algorithm is based on a local relaxation that exploits the inherent structure of the objective function. It solves a sequence of small, local, quadratic-programs by first projecting asset returns onto a reduced metric space, followed by clustering in this space to identify sub-groups of assets that best accentuate a suitable measure of similarity amongst different assets. The algorithm can either be cold started using the centroids of initial clusters or be warm started based on the output of a previous result. Empirical result, using baskets of up to 3,000 stocks and with different cardinality constraints, indicates that the algorithm is able to achieve significant performance gain over a sophisticated branch-and-cut method. One key application of this local relaxation algorithm is in dealing with large scale cardinality constrained portfolio optimization under tight time constraint, such as for the purpose of index tracking or index arbitrage at high frequency.
