In this paper, we propose the test for the location of the tangency portfolio on the set of feasible portfolios when both the population and the sample covariance matrices of asset returns are singular. We derive the exact distribution of the test statistic under both the null and alternative...

In this paper, we propose the test for the location of the tangency portfolio on the set of feasible portfolios when both the population and the sample covariance matrices of asset returns are singular. We derive the exact distribution of the test statistic under both the null and alternative...

In this paper, we investigate the distributional properties of the estimated tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming that the asset returns follow a matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution.We establish a stochastic representation of the linear combination of the estimated TP weights that...

In this paper, we study the distributional properties of the tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming a normal distribution of the logarithmic returns. We derive a stochastic representation of the TP weights that fully describes their distribution. Under a high-dimensional asymptotic regime,...

In this paper we derive the nite-sample distribution of the esti- mated weights of the tangency portfolio when both the population and the sample covariance matrices are singular. These results are used in the derivation of a statistical test on the weights of the tangency port- folio where the...

In this paper we consider the product of a singular Wishart random matrix and a singular normal random vector. A very useful stochastic representation is derived for this product, in using which the characteristic function of the product and its asymptotic distribution under the double...
