Investors can enhance their portfolios by strategically using LETFs, especially with dynamic strategies.
Paper combines RL with classifiers to improve financial trading strategies.
This paper aims at developing a new method by which to build a data-driven portfolio featuring a target risk-return. We first present a comparative study of recurrent neural network models (RNNs), including a simple RNN, long short-term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) for selecting the best predictor to u…
Investments with best performance are not associated with best Sharpe ratios.
The study evaluates forecast risk-adjusted performance using various metrics.
Automated investment managers, or robo-advisors, have emerged as an alternative to traditional financial advisors. The viability of robo-advisors crucially depends on their ability to offer personalized financial advice. We introduce a novel framework, in which a robo-advisor interacts with a client to solve an adaptiv…

Study applies HRP to Latin American markets, showing smoother risk-return profile.
Study replicates reference-dependent preferences impact on risk-return trade-off in Chinese stock market.
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 long-only fully-invested …
We study the problem of option pricing and hedging strategies within the frame-work of risk-return arguments. An economic agent is described by a utility function that depends on profit (an expected value) and risk (a variance). In the ideal case without transaction costs the optimal strategy for any given agent is fou…
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is one of the original models in explaining risk-return relationship in the financial market. However, when applying the CAPM into reality, it demonstrates a lot of shortcomings. While improving the performance of the model, many studies, on one hand, have attempted to apply diffe…
It is customary that when security prices fully reflect all available information, the markets for those securities are said to be efficient. And if markets are inefficient, investors can use available information ignored by the market to earn abnormally high returns on their investments. In this context this paper tri…
RL models outperform traditional methods in certain market conditions.
Study examines new financial metrics and their implications for trading and risk management.
We consider the problem of finding the efficient frontier associated with the risk-return portfolio optimization model. We derive the analytical expression of the efficient frontier for a portfolio of N risky assets, and for the case when a risk-free asset is added to the model. Also, we provide an R implementation, an…
Study enhances financial forecasting with machine learning and fuzzy MCDM.
This paper optimizes cryptocurrency portfolios by clustering price correlations and improving risk-return profiles.
Recent years have witnessed the successful marriage of finance innovations and AI techniques in various finance applications including quantitative trading (QT). Despite great research efforts devoted to leveraging deep learning (DL) methods for building better QT strategies, existing studies still face serious challen…
Investing in cryptocurrencies can improve portfolio risk-return profile, especially with diversification strategies.
Financial market created for wellbeing indices to mitigate socioeconomic risks.
In this paper we apply evolutionary optimization techniques to compute optimal rule-based trading strategies based on financial sentiment data. The sentiment data was extracted from the social media service StockTwits to accommodate the level of bullishness or bearishness of the online trading community towards certain…
In this paper, we present a two-stage stochastic international portfolio optimisation model to find an optimal allocation for the combination of both assets and currency hedging positions. Our optimisation model allows a "currency overlay", or a deviation of currency exposure from asset exposure, to provide flexibility…
This study compares VaR-based portfolio insurance with CPPI in a regime-switching market.
Leveraged ETFs can boost returns but increase risk.
This paper investigates the risk-return relationship in determination of housing asset pricing. In so doing, the paper evaluates behavioral hypotheses advanced by Case and Shiller (1988, 2002, 2009) in studies of boom and post-boom housing markets. The paper specifies and tests a multi-factor housing asset pricing mode…
Asset prices contain information about the probability distribution of future states and the stochastic discounting of those states as used by investors. To better understand the challenge in distinguishing investors' beliefs from risk-adjusted discounting, we use Perron-Frobenius Theory to isolate a positive martingal…
FR-LUX optimizes portfolio management by learning cost-aware policies robust to market conditions.
Pairs trading strategy improved using Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.
We show that the efficient frontier for a portfolio in which short positions precisely offset the long ones is composed of a pair of straight lines through the origin of the risk-return plane. This unique but important case has been overlooked because the original formulation of the mean-variance model by Markowitz as …
In this paper, we combine modern portfolio theory and option pricing theory so that a trader who takes a position in a European option contract and the underlying assets can construct an optimal portfolio such that at the moment of the contract's maturity the contract is perfectly hedged. We derive both the optimal hol…
We introduce a measure for estimating the best risk-return relation of power production in wind farms within a given time-lag, conditioned to the velocity field. The velocity field is represented by a scalar that weighs the influence of the velocity at each wind turbine at present and previous time-steps for the presen…
This study develops a multi-factor framework where not only market risk is considered but also potential changes in the investment opportunity set. Although previous studies find no clear evidence about a positive and significant relation between return and risk, favourable evidence can be obtained if a non-linear rela…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a method for computing the allocated Solvency II Capital Requirement (SCR) of each Risk which the company is exposed to, taking in account for the diversification effect among different risks. The method suggested is based on the Euler principle. We show that it has very suitable p…
We construct a deep portfolio theory. By building on Markowitz's classic risk-return trade-off, we develop a self-contained four-step routine of encode, calibrate, validate and verify to formulate an automated and general portfolio selection process. At the heart of our algorithm are deep hierarchical compositions of p…
Study examines stock price reactions to Texas winter storm power outages.
Optimizes cryptocurrency portfolios using MNTS GARCH model.
The paper analyzes how wealth affects investment strategies in incomplete markets.
Crypto simulations show HODL strategy loads risk onto most investors, with macro-sentiment affecting returns.
New method uses asymmetric Tsallis relative entropy for better risk assessment in financial portfolios.
We discuss - in what is intended to be a pedagogical fashion - generalized "mean-to-risk" ratios for portfolio optimization. The Sharpe ratio is only one example of such generalized "mean-to-risk" ratios. Another example is what we term the Fano ratio (which, unlike the Sharpe ratio, is independent of the time horizon)…
Quantum-inspired method optimizes portfolio selection.
FORE evaluates occupancy ratios without requiring Bellman completeness.
Optimal option portfolios under Sharpe Ratio maximization with skew-elliptical t-distributed returns
Omega ratio, defined as the probability-weighted ratio of gains over losses at a given level of expected return, has been advocated as a better performance indicator compared to Sharpe and Sortino ratio as it depends on the full return distribution and hence encapsulates all information about risk and return. We comput…
We present a new methodology of computing incremental contribution for performance ratios for portfolio like Sharpe, Treynor, Calmar or Sterling ratios. Using Euler's homogeneous function theorem, we are able to decompose these performance ratios as a linear combination of individual modified performance ratios. This a…
