We implement a long-horizon static and dynamic portfolio allocation involving a risk-free and a risky asset. This model is calibrated at a quarterly frequency for ten European countries. We also use maximum-likelihood estimates and Bayesian estimates to account for parameter uncertainty. We find...

We develop the idea of using Monte Carlo sampling of random portfolios to solve portfolio investment problems. In this first paper we explore the need for more general optimization tools, and consider the means by which constrained random portfolios may be generated. A practical scheme for the...

This paper analyzes competition between mutual funds in a multiple funds version of the model of Hugonnier and Kaniel. We characterize the set of equilibria for this delegated portfolio management game and show that there exists a unique Pareto optimal equilibrium. The main result of this paper...

This paper originally proposes two unique closed-form solutions, respectively to risky assets only and a risk-free asset existing situations, of the mean-variance-skewness (MVS) optimization model subject to mean-sknewness-normalization constraints for portfolio selection. The efficient frontier...

This paper examines the effectiveness of using futures contracts as hedging instruments of: (1) alternative models of volatility for estimating conditional variances and covariances; (2) alternative currencies; and (3) alternative maturities of futures contracts. For this purpose, daily data of...

The purpose of this study is to incorporate some of the influential findings in the forecasting literature in an integrated framework to examine whether a real-time optimizing investor can benefit from the stock market by allocating assets based on a predictive model that only uses industry...

In this article, the authors propose an order flow simulator for meta orders such as those originating from the trading activity of buy-side firms. The simulator is designed with three key goals in mind. First, it should be simple to use and integrate into different applications. Second, it must...

This paper extends the socially responsible multiobjective problem to (i) estimating optimal portfolios via reward/risk maximization, (ii) including dependence structure between asset returns using vine copulas, and (iii) incorporating enhanced indexation utilizing cumulative zero-order...

Covariance appears throughout investment management, e.g., in risk reporting and control, portfolio construction, risk parity, smart beta, algorithmic trading, and hedging. It is usually represented via multi-factor model. The form’s fewer parameters and structure—comovement through...
