This book provides a comprehensive treatment of all the steps of asset allocation: detecting the market invariants; estimating the invariants' distribution; modeling the market at any horizon; defining optimality; accounting for estimation- and model-risk; including the practitioner's experience...

We propose a unified methodology to input non-linear views from any number of users in fully general non-normal markets, and perform, among others, stress-testing, scenario analysis, and ranking allocation. We walk the reader through the theory and we detail an extremely efficient algorithm to...

A novel approach for stress-testing (portfolios of) financial assets is presented. The technique extends the parametric Entropy Pooling approach to skewed and thick-tailed markets. The technique rests on a copula-marginal decomposition for the entropy together with several approximation schemes...

We introduce a simple approach to managing portfolio interest rate risk that is consistent and performs well across different interest rate regimes, including when interest rates are low or even negative. Inspired by Black (1995), this approach uses a novel inverse-call transformation...
