Use of DEA cross-efficiency evaluation in portfolio selection: An application to Korean stock market

We propose a way of using DEA cross-efficiency evaluation in portfolio selection. While cross efficiency is an approach developed for peer evaluation, we improve its use in portfolio selection. In addition to (average) cross-efficiency scores, we suggest to examine the variations of cross-efficiencies, and to incorporate two statistics of cross-efficiencies into the mean-variance formulation of portfolio selection. Two benefits are attained by our proposed approach. One is selection of portfolios well-diversified in terms of their performance on multiple evaluation criteria, and the other is alleviation of the so-called “ganging together” phenomenon of DEA cross-efficiency evaluation in portfolio selection. We apply the proposed approach to stock portfolio selection in the Korean stock market, and demonstrate that the proposed approach can be a promising tool for stock portfolio selection by showing that the selected portfolio yields higher risk-adjusted returns than other benchmark portfolios for a 9-year sample period from 2002 to 2011.     

Genetic algorithm-based multi-criteria project portfolio selection

Project portfolio selection is one of the most important decision-making problems for most organizations in project management and engineering management. Usually project portfolio decisions are very complicated when project interactions in terms of multiple selection criteria and preference information of decision makers (DMs) in terms of the criteria importance are taken into consideration simultaneously. In order to solve this complex decision-making problem, a multi-criteria project portfolio selection problem considering project interactions in terms of multiple selection criteria and DMs?? preferences is first formulated. Then a genetic algorithm (GA)-based nonlinear integer programming (NIP) approach is used to solve the multi-criteria project portfolio selection problem. Finally, two illustrative examples are presented for demonstration and verification purposes. Experimental results obtained indicate that the GA-based NIP approach can be used as a feasible and effective solution to multi-criteria project portfolio selection problems.     

Robust portfolio modeling with incomplete cost information and project interdependencies

Robust portfolio modeling (RPM) [Liesiö, J., Mild, P., Salo, A., 2007. Preference programming for robust portfolio modeling and project selection. European Journal of Operational Research 181, 1488–1505] supports project portfolio selection in the presence of multiple evaluation criteria and incomplete information. In this paper, we extend RPM to account for project interdependencies, incomplete cost information and variable budget levels. These extensions lead to a multi-objective zero-one linear programming problem with interval-valued objective function coefficients for which all non-dominated solutions are determined by a tailored algorithm. The extended RPM framework permits more comprehensive modeling of portfolio problems and provides support for advanced benefit–cost analyses. It retains the key features of RPM by providing robust project and portfolio recommendations and by identifying projects on which further attention should be focused. The extended framework is illustrated with an example on product release planning.     

Time-consistent investment strategy under partial information

This paper considers a mean–variance portfolio selection problem under partial information, that is, the investor can observe the risky asset price with random drift which is not directly observable in financial markets. Since the dynamic mean–variance portfolio selection problem is time inconsistent, to seek the time-consistent investment strategy, the optimization problem is formulated and tackled in a game theoretic framework. Closed-form expressions of the equilibrium investment strategy and the corresponding equilibrium value function under partial information are derived by solving an extended Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman system of equations. In addition, the results are also given under complete information, which are need for the partial information case. Furthermore, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the derived equilibrium investment strategies and numerical sensitivity analysis is provided.     

Robust optimization for interactive multiobjective programming with imprecise information applied to R&D project portfolio selection

A multiobjective binary integer programming model for R&D project portfolio selection with competing objectives is developed when problem coefficients in both objective functions and constraints are uncertain. Robust optimization is used in dealing with uncertainty while an interactive procedure is used in making tradeoffs among the multiple objectives. Robust nondominated solutions are generated by solving the linearized counterpart of the robust augmented weighted Tchebycheff programs. A decision maker’s most preferred solution is identified in the interactive robust weighted Tchebycheff procedure by progressively eliciting and incorporating the decision maker’s preference information into the solution process. An example is presented to illustrate the solution approach and performance. The developed approach can also be applied to general multiobjective mixed integer programming problems.     

Robust portfolio selection with uncertain exit time using worst-case VaR strategy

To deal with the robust portfolio selection problem where only partial information on the exit time distribution and on the conditional distribution of portfolio return is available, we extend the worst-case VaR approach and formulate the corresponding problems as semi-definite programs. Moreover, we present some numerical results with real market data.     

Portfolio optimization based on downside risk: a mean-semivariance efficient frontier from Dow Jones blue chips

To create efficient funds appealing to a sector of bank clients, the objective of minimizing downside risk is relevant to managers of funds offered by the banks. In this paper, a case focusing on this objective is developed. More precisely, the scope and purpose of the paper is to apply the mean-semivariance efficient frontier model, which is a recent approach to portfolio selection of stocks when the investor is especially interested in the constrained minimization of downside risk measured by the portfolio semivariance. Concerning the opportunity set and observation period, the mean-semivariance efficient frontier model is applied to an actual case of portfolio choice from Dow Jones stocks with daily prices observed over the period 2005–2009. From these daily prices, time series of returns (capital gains weekly computed) are obtained as a piece of basic information. Diversification constraints are established so that each portfolio weight cannot exceed 5 per cent. The results show significant differences between the portfolios obtained by mean-semivariance efficient frontier model and those portfolios of equal expected returns obtained by classical Markowitz mean-variance efficient frontier model. Precise comparisons between them are made, leading to the conclusion that the results are consistent with the objective of reflecting downside risk.     

An extension of Sharpe's single-index model: portfolio selection with expert betas

This paper presents an approach to the portfolio selection problem based on Sharpe's single-index model and on Fuzzy Sets Theory. In this sense, expert estimations about future Betas of each financial asset have been included in the portfolio selection model denoted as ‘Expert Betas’ and modelled as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Value, ambiguity and fuzziness are three basic concepts involved in the model which provide enough information about fuzzy numbers representing ‘Expert Betas’ and that are simple to handle. In order to select an optimal portfolio, a Goal Programming model has been proposed including imprecise investor's aspirations concerning asset's proportions of both, high-and low-risk assets. Semantics of these goals are based on the fuzzy membership of a goal satisfaction set. To illustrate the proposed model a real portfolio selection problem is presented.     

Multi‐period mean variance portfolio selection under incomplete information

This paper solves an optimal portfolio selection problem in the discrete‐time setting where the states of the financial market cannot be completely observed, which breaks the common assumption that the states of the financial market are fully observable. The dynamics of the unobservable market state is formulated by a hidden Markov chain, and the return of the risky asset is modulated by the unobservable market state. Based on the observed information up to the decision moment, an investor wants to find the optimal multi‐period investment strategy to maximize the mean‐variance utility of the terminal wealth. By adopting a sufficient statistic, the portfolio optimization problem with incompletely observable information is converted into the one with completely observable information. The optimal investment strategy is derived by using the dynamic programming approach and the embedding technique, and the efficient frontier is also presented. Compared with the case when the market state can be completely observed, we find that the unobservable market state does decrease the investment value on the risky asset in average. Finally, numerical results illustrate the impact of the unobservable market state on the efficient frontier, the optimal investment strategy and the Sharpe ratio.
