Download or read book Enhancing Risk Parity by Including Views written by Daniel Haesen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 position herself between these two extremes. Depending on the confidence in one's risk premium estimates, the optimal portfolio will be tilted more towards the risk parity portfolio or to the mean variance portfolio. We illustrate the framework for an investor in an asset allocation context.

Book excerpt: 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) views always result in a more diversified allocation. We further extend this framework to arbitrary initial risk budgets, and suggest an alternative to the Black-Litterman methodology.

Download or read book Global Asset Allocation written by MR Mebane T Faber and published by Mebane Faber. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With all of our focus on assets - and how much and when to allocate them - are we missing the bigger picture? Our book begins by reviewing the historical performance record of popular assets like stocks, bonds, and cash. We look at the impact inflation has on our money. We then start to examine how diversification through combining assets, in this case a simple stock and bond mix, works to mitigate the extreme drawdowns of risky asset classes. But we go beyond a limited stock/bond portfolio to consider a more global allocation that also takes into account real assets. We track 13 assets and their returns since 1973, with particular attention to a number of well-known portfolios, like Ray Dalio's All Weather portfolio, the Endowment portfolio, Warren Buffett's suggestion, and others. And what we find is that, with a few notable exceptions, many of the allocations have similar exposures. And yet, while we are all busy paying close attention to our portfolio's particular allocation of assets, the greatest impact on our portfolios may be something we fail to notice altogether...

Download or read book Artificial Intelligence in Asset Management written by Söhnke M. Bartram and published by CFA Institute Research Foundation. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial intelligence (AI) has grown in presence in asset management and has revolutionized the sector in many ways. It has improved portfolio management, trading, and risk management practices by increasing efficiency, accuracy, and compliance. In particular, AI techniques help construct portfolios based on more accurate risk and return forecasts and more complex constraints. Trading algorithms use AI to devise novel trading signals and execute trades with lower transaction costs. AI also improves risk modeling and forecasting by generating insights from new data sources. Finally, robo-advisors owe a large part of their success to AI techniques. Yet the use of AI can also create new risks and challenges, such as those resulting from model opacity, complexity, and reliance on data integrity.
