We provide an axiomatic foundation for the measurement of correlation diversification in a one-period portfolio model. We propose a set of eight desirable axioms for this class of diversification measures. We name the measures satisfying these axioms coherent correlation diversification...

This paper proposes a new formulation of the maximum diversification indexation strategy based on Rao's Quadratic Entropy. It clarifies the investment problem underlying this diversification strategy, identifies the source of its out-of-sample performance, and suggests new dimensions along which...

This paper provides an axiomatic foundation of the measurement of diversification in a one-period portfolio theory under the assumption that the investor has complete information about the joint distribution of asset returns. Four categories of portfolio diversification measures can be...

This paper proposes a new formulation of the Maximum Diversification indexation strategy based on Rao's Quadratic Entropy (RQE). It clarifies the investment problem underlying the Most Diversified Portfolio (MDP) formed with this strategy, identifies the source of the MDP's out-of-sample...

In this paper, we re-examine investors' diversification attitude in the mean-variance model from the perspective of Markowitz (1952)'s principle of diversification. Our analysis is based on the diversification returns, the specific Markowitz (1952)'s principle of diversification measure in the...
