Quantile regression differs from traditional least-squares regression in that one constructs regression lines for the quantiles of the dependent variable in terms of the independent variable. In this paper we apply quantile regression to two problems in financial portfolio construction, index tracking and enhanced indexation. Index tracking is the problem of reproducing the performance of a stock market index, but without purchasing all of the stocks that make up the index. Enhanced indexation deals with the problem of out-performing the index. We present a mixed-integer linear programming formulation of these problems based on quantile regression. Our formulation includes transaction costs, a constraint limiting the number of stocks that can be in the portfolio and a limit on the total transaction cost that can be incurred. Numeric results are presented for eight test problems drawn from major world markets, where the largest of these test problems involves over 2000 stocks. 相似文献

We consider the problem of reproducing the performance of a stock market index, but without purchasing all of the stocks that make up the index, index tracking. We also consider the problem of out-performing the index, enhanced indexation. We present mixed-integer linear programming formulations of these problems. Our formulations include transaction costs, a constraint limiting the number of stocks that can be purchased and a limit on the total transaction cost that can be incurred. As our formulations of these problems are mixed-integer linear programs we can use a standard solver (Cplex). Numeric results are presented for eight data sets drawn from major markets. The largest of these data sets involves over 2000 stocks. 相似文献

This paper investigates the portfolio strategy problem for passive fund management. We propose a novel portfolio strategy that combines the existing stratified strategy and optimized sampling strategy. The proposed method enables one to include adequate practical information in portfolio decision making, and promotes better out‐of‐sample performance. A mixed‐integer program model is built that captures the stratification information, the cardinality requirement, and other practical constraints. The corresponding model is able to forecast and generate optimal tracking portfolios with high performance, especially in out‐of‐sample time period. As mixed‐integer program is a well‐known NP‐hard problem, to tackle the computational challenge, we propose a stratified hybrid genetic algorithm, in which a novel crossover operator is introduced. To evaluate the proposed strategy and algorithm, we conduct numerical tests on real data sets collected from China Stock Exchange Markets. The experimental results show that the algorithm runs efficiently and the portfolio strategy performs significantly better than other existing strategies. 相似文献

Wave atoms and sparsity of oscillatory patterns 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We introduce “wave atoms” as a variant of 2D wavelet packets obeying the parabolic scaling wavelength(diameter)2. We prove that warped oscillatory functions, a toy model for texture, have a significantly sparser expansion in wave atoms than in other fixed standard representations like wavelets, Gabor atoms, or curvelets. We propose a novel algorithm for a tight frame of wave atoms with redundancy two, directly in the frequency plane, by the “wrapping” technique. We also propose variants of the basic transform for applications in image processing, including an orthonormal basis, and a shift-invariant tight frame with redundancy four. Sparsity and denoising experiments on both seismic and fingerprint images demonstrate the potential of the tool introduced. 相似文献

In addition to sparsity, practitioners of statistics and machine learning often wish to promote additional structures in their variable selection process to incorporate prior knowledge. Borrowing the modeling power of linear systems with binary variables, many of such structures can be faithfully modeled by affine sparsity constraints (ASC). In this note we study conditions under which an ASC system can be represented by sets in integer programs and mathematical programs with complementarity conditions (MPCC). Results of this note facilitate developing nonconvex optimization methods for variable selection with structured sparsity. 相似文献

Longevity risk in portfolios of pension annuities 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We analyze the importance of longevity risk for the solvency of portfolios of pension annuities. We distinguish two types of mortality risk. Micro-longevity risk quantifies the risk related to uncertainty in the time of death if survival probabilities are known with certainty, while macro-longevity risk is due to uncertain future survival probabilities. We use a generalized two-factor Lee-Carter mortality model to produce forecasts of future mortality rates, and to assess the relative importance of micro- and macro-longevity risk for funding ratio uncertainty. The results show that if financial market risk is fully hedged so that uncertainty in future lifetime is the only source of uncertainty, pension funds are exposed to a substantial amount of risk. Systematic and non-systematic deviations from expected survival imply that, depending on the size of the portfolio, buffers that reduce the probability of underfunding to 2.5% at a 5-year horizon have to be of the order of magnitude of 7% to 8% of the initial value of the liabilities. 相似文献

Index funds aim to track the performance of a financial index, such as, e.g., the Standard?&?Poor’s?500 index. Index funds have become popular because they offer attractive risk-return profiles at low costs. The index-tracking problem considered in this paper consists of rebalancing the composition of the index fund’s tracking portfolio in response to new market information and cash deposits and withdrawals from investors such that the index fund’s tracking accuracy is maximized. In a frictionless market, maximum tracking accuracy is achieved by investing the index fund’s entire capital in a tracking portfolio that has the same normalized value development as the index. In the presence of transaction costs, which reduce the fund’s capital, one has to manage the trade-off between transaction costs and similarity in terms of normalized value developments. Existing mathematical programing formulations for the index-tracking problem do not optimize this trade-off explicitly, which may result in substantial transaction costs or tracking portfolios that differ considerably from the index in terms of normalized value development. In this paper, we present a mixed-integer linear programing formulation with a novel optimization criterion that directly considers the trade-off between transaction costs and similarity in terms of normalized value development. In an experiment based on a set of real-world problem instances, the proposed formulation achieves a considerably higher tracking accuracy than state-of-the-art formulations. 相似文献

Index tracking aims at determining an optimal portfolio that replicates the performance of an index or benchmark by investing in a smaller number of constituents or assets. The tracking portfolio should be cheap to maintain and update, i.e., invest in a smaller number of constituents than the index, have low turnover and low transaction costs, and should avoid large positions in few assets, as required by the European Union Directive UCITS (Undertaking for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities) rules. The UCITS rules make the problem hard to be satisfactorily modeled and solved to optimality: no exact methods but only heuristics have been proposed so far. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we present the first Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP) formulation for the constrained index tracking problem with the UCITS rules compliance. This allows us to obtain exact solutions for small- and medium-size problems based on real-world datasets. Second, we compare these solutions with the ones provided by the state-of-art heuristic Differential Evolution and Combinatorial Search for Index Tracking (DECS-IT), obtaining information about the heuristic performance and its reliability for the solution of large-size problems that cannot be solved with the exact approach. Empirical results show that DECS-IT is indeed appropriate to tackle the index tracking problem in such cases. Furthermore, we propose a method that combines the good characteristics of the exact and of the heuristic approaches. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider the optimal portfolio selection problem in continuous-time settings where the investor maximizes the expected utility of the terminal wealth in a stochastic market. The utility function has the structure of the HARA family and the market states change according to a Markov process. The states of the market describe the prevailing economic, financial, social and other conditions that affect the deterministic and probabilistic parameters of the model. This includes the distributions of the random asset returns as well as the utility function. We analyzed Black–Scholes type continuous-time models where the market parameters are driven by Markov processes. The Markov process that affects the state of the market is independent of the underlying Brownian motion that drives the stock prices. The problem of maximizing the expected utility of the terminal wealth is investigated and solved by stochastic optimal control methods for exponential, logarithmic and power utility functions. We found explicit solutions for optimal policy and the associated value functions. We also constructed the optimal wealth process explicitly and discussed some of its properties. In particular, it is shown that the optimal policy provides linear frontiers. 相似文献

E-mail: c.j.adcock{at}sheffield.ac.uk or adcock{at}intonet.co.uk This paper presents a theoretical treatment of the statisticalproperties of optimal portfolios. The results demonstrate theway in which the statistical properties of forecast returnsaffect the performance of optimised portfolios. The paper thenindicates how these methods may be used in principle to controlthe performance of an optimised portfolio. This is exemplifiedby an optimal portfolio of foreign currencies. 相似文献

The strategy-based approach to portfolio margining has been used for margining customer accounts for more than four decades.
The risk-based approach was proposed in the mid eighties for margining some inventory accounts of brokers but permitted for
margining customer accounts only in 2005. This paper presents a computational experiment with the strategy-based approach
and the risk-based approach with the purpose of clarifying which one yields lower margin requirements under different scenarios.
There exists a widespread opinion, cf. (Reuters 2007; Longo 2007; Smith 2008), that the risk-based approach is always a winner
in this competition, and therefore the strategy-based approach must be disqualified as outdated. However, the results of our
experiment with portfolios of stock options show that, in many practical situations, the strategy-based approach yields substantially
lower margin requirements in comparison with the risk-based approach. 相似文献

We study the optimal consumption and portfolio for an agent maximizing the expected utility of his intertemporal consumption in a financial market with: (i) a riskless asset, (ii) a stock, (iii) a bond as a derivative on the stochastic interest rate, and (iv) a longevity bond whose coupons are proportional to the population (stochastic) survival rate. With a force of mortality instantaneously uncorrelated with the interest rate (but not necessarily independent), we demonstrate that the wealth invested in the longevity bond must be taken from the ordinary bond and the riskless asset proportionally to the duration of the two bonds. This result is valid for both a complete and an incomplete financial market. 相似文献

We give three elementary definitions of a game of pursuit and evasion in a large class of metric spaces. Our definitions are independent of the theory of differential games. We prove that the three definitions yield the same value of the game, and we study this value as a function of the initial positions of the players and their velocities. Several open problems are stated.This work was supported by an NSF Grant. 相似文献
