Fuzzy portfolio model with different investor risk attitudes

We propose a fuzzy portfolio model designed for efficient portfolio selection with respect to uncertain or vague returns. Although many researchers have studied the fuzzy portfolio model, no researcher has yet attempted a behavioral analysis of the investor in the fuzzy portfolio model. To address this problem, we examined investor risk attitudes—risk-averse, risk-neutral, or risk-seeking behaviors—to discover an efficient method for fuzzy portfolio selection. In this study, we relied on the advantages of possibilistic mean–standard deviation models that we believed would fit the risk attitudes of investors. Thus, we developed a fuzzy portfolio model that focuses on different investor risk attitudes so that fuzzy portfolio selection for investors who possess different risk attitudes can be achieved more easily. Finally, we presented a numerical example of a portfolio selection problem to illustrate ways to address problems presented by a variety of investor risk attitudes.

A multi-objective evolutionary optimization approach for an integrated location-inventory distribution network problem under vendor-managed inventory systems

This paper develops a λ mean-hybrid entropy model to deal with portfolio selection problem with both random uncertainty and fuzzy uncertainty. Solving this model provides the investor a tradeoff frontier between security return and risk. We model the security return as a triangular fuzzy random variable, where the investor’s individual preference is reflected by the pessimistic-optimistic parameter λ. We measure the security risk using the hybrid entropy in this model. Algorithm is developed to solve this bi-objective portfolio selection model. Beside, a numerical example is also presented to illustrate this approach.     

Fuzzy portfolio selection model with real features and different decision behaviors

In the ever changing financial markets, investor’s decision behaviors may change from time to time. In this paper, we consider the effect of investor’s different decision behaviors on portfolio selection in fuzzy environment. We present a possibilistic mean-semivariance model for fuzzy portfolio selection by considering some real investment features including proportional transaction cost, fixed transaction cost, cardinality constraint, investment threshold constraints, decision dependency constraints and minimum transaction lots. To describe investor’s different decision behaviors, we characterize the return rates on securities by LR fuzzy numbers with different shape parameters in the left- and right-hand reference functions. Then, we design a novel hybrid differential evolution algorithm to solve the proposed model. Finally, we provide a numerical example to illustrate the application of our model and the effectiveness of the designed algorithm.     

Chance-constrained programming models for capital budgeting with NPV as fuzzy parameters

In an uncertain economic environment, experts’ knowledge about outlays and cash inflows of available projects consists of much vagueness instead of randomness. Investment outlays and annual net cash flows of a project are usually predicted by using experts’ knowledge. Fuzzy variables can overcome the difficulties in predicting these parameters. In this paper, capital budgeting problem with fuzzy investment outlays and fuzzy annual net cash flows is studied based on credibility measure. Net present value (NPV) method is employed, and two fuzzy chance-constrained programming models for capital budgeting problem are provided. A fuzzy simulation-based genetic algorithm is provided for solving the proposed model problems. Two numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the modelling idea and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Portfolios with fuzzy returns: Selection strategies based on semi-infinite programming

This paper provides new models for portfolio selection in which the returns on securities are considered fuzzy numbers rather than random variables. The investor's problem is to find the portfolio that minimizes the risk of achieving a return that is not less than the return of a riskless asset. The corresponding optimal portfolio is derived using semi-infinite programming in a soft framework. The return on each asset and their membership functions are described using historical data. The investment risk is approximated by mean intervals which evaluate the downside risk for a given fuzzy portfolio. This approach is illustrated with a numerical example.     

Portfolio selection based on fuzzy cross-entropy

In this paper, the Kapur cross-entropy minimization model for portfolio selection problem is discussed under fuzzy environment, which minimizes the divergence of the fuzzy investment return from a priori one. First, three mathematical models are proposed by defining divergence as cross-entropy, average return as expected value and risk as variance, semivariance and chance of bad outcome, respectively. In order to solve these models under fuzzy environment, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is designed by integrating numerical integration, fuzzy simulation and genetic algorithm. Finally, several numerical examples are given to illustrate the modeling idea and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

An expected regret minimization portfolio selection model

Fuzzy portfolio selection has been widely studied within the framework of the credibility theory. However, all existing models provide only concentrated investment solutions, which contradicts the risk diversification concept in the classical portfolio selection theory. In this paper, we propose an expected regret minimization model, which minimizes the expected value of the distance between the maximum return and the obtained return associated with each portfolio. We prove that our model is advantageous for obtaining distributive investment and reducing investor regret. The effectiveness of the model is demonstrated by using an example of a portfolio selection problem comprising ten securities in the Shanghai Stock Exchange 180 Index.

A new risk criterion in fuzzy environment and its application

Since the observed values of security returns in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise or vague, an increasing effort in research is devoted to study the properties of risk measures in fuzzy portfolio optimization problems. In this paper, a new risk measure is suggested to gauge the risk resulted from fuzzy uncertainty. For this purpose, the absolute deviation and absolute semi-deviation are first defined for fuzzy variable by nonlinear fuzzy integrals. To compute effectively the absolute semi-deviations of single fuzzy variable as well as its functions, this paper discusses the methods of computing the absolute semi-deviation by classical Lebesgue–Stieltjes (L–S) integral. After that, several useful absolute deviation and absolute semi-deviation formulas are established for common triangular, trapezoidal and normal fuzzy variables. Applying the absolute semi-deviation as a new risk measure in portfolio optimization, three classes of fuzzy portfolio optimization models are developed by combining the absolute semi-deviation with expected value operator and credibility measure. Based on the analytical representation of absolute semi-deviations, the established fuzzy portfolio selection models can be turned into their equivalent piecewise linear or fractional programming problems. Since the absolute semi-deviation is a piecewise fractional function and pseudo-convex on the feasible subregions of deterministic programming models, we take advantage of the structural characteristics to design a domain decomposition method to separate a deterministic programming problem into three convex subproblems, which can be solved by conventional solution methods or general-purpose software. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the new modeling idea and the effectiveness of the solution method.     

Mean-variance models for portfolio selection with fuzzy random returns

This paper develops two novel types of mean-variance models for portfolio selection problems, in which the security returns are assumed to be characterized by fuzzy random variables with known possibility and probability distributions. In the proposed models, we take the expected return of a portfolio as the investment return and the variance of the expected return of a portfolio as the investment risk. We assume that the security returns are triangular fuzzy random variables. To solve the proposed portfolio problems, this paper first presents the variance formulas for triangular fuzzy random variables. Then this paper applies the variance formulas to the proposed models so that the original portfolio problems can be reduced to nonlinear programming ones. Due to the reduced programming problems include standard normal distribution in the objective functions, we cannot employ the conventional solution methods to solve them. To overcome this difficulty, this paper employs genetic algorithm (GA) to solve them, and verify the obtained optimal solutions via Kuhn-Tucker (K-T) conditions. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models and methods.

Optimal investment with a constraint on ruin for a fuzzy discrete-time insurance risk model

In this paper, we consider a mean–variance portfolio optimization problem for a fuzzy discrete-time insurance risk model. The model consists of independent, identically distributed net losses considered within successive time periods, and incorporates investment incomes from a two-asset portfolio. More precisely, in the beginning of each period, the surplus is invested in both a risk-free bond with fixed interest, and a risky stock with fuzzy return rate. Our purpose is to determine the proportion invested in the stock that maximizes the insurer’s expected wealth, while reducing his risks. Therefore, for this fuzzy model, we formulate mean–variance optimization problems that also include constraints on ruin, and we present a method for determining the resulting optimal proportion to be invested in the risky stock. This method is illustrated in a numerical study in which the fuzzy return rate is considered to be an adaptive fuzzy number that generalizes the well-known trapezoidal fuzzy number.     

Calculating risk neutral probabilities and optimal portfolio policies in a dynamic investment model with downside risk control

This paper presents a method for solving multiperiod investment models with downside risk control characterized by the portfolio’s worst outcome. The stochastic programming problem is decomposed into two subproblems: a nonlinear optimization model identifying the optimal terminal wealth distribution and a stochastic linear programming model replicating the identified optimal portfolio wealth. The replicating portfolio coincides with the optimal solution to the investor’s problem if the market is frictionless. The multiperiod stochastic linear programming model tests for the absence of arbitrage opportunities and its dual feasible solutions generate all risk neutral probability measures. When there are constraints such as liquidity or position requirements, the method yields approximate portfolio policies by minimizing the initial cost of the replication portfolio. A numerical example illustrates the difference between the replicating result and the optimal unconstrained portfolio.     

A risk index model for portfolio selection with returns subject to experts’ estimations

Portfolio selection is concerned with selecting an optimal portfolio that can strike a balance between maximizing the return and minimizing the risk among a large number of securities. Traditionally, security returns were regarded as random variables. However, there are cases that the predictions of security returns are given mainly based on experts’ judgements and estimations rather than historical data. In this paper, we introduce a new type of variable to reflect the subjective estimations of the security returns. A risk index for uncertain portfolio selection is proposed and a new safe criterion for judging the portfolio investment is introduced. Based on the proposed risk index, a new mean-risk index model is developed and its crisp forms are given. In addition, to illustrate the application of the model, two numerical examples are also presented.     

Portfolio selection problems with Markowitz’s mean–variance framework: a review of literature

Since the pioneering work of Harry Markowitz, mean–variance portfolio selection model has been widely used in both theoretical and empirical studies, which maximizes the investment return under certain risk level or minimizes the investment risk under certain return level. In this paper, we review several variations or generalizations that substantially improve the performance of Markowitz’s mean–variance model, including dynamic portfolio optimization, portfolio optimization with practical factors, robust portfolio optimization and fuzzy portfolio optimization. The review provides a useful reference to handle portfolio selection problems for both researchers and practitioners. Some summaries about the current studies and future research directions are presented at the end of this paper.
