On optimal constrained investment strategies for long-term savers in stochastic environments and probability hedging

Russell Gerrard et al.

Summary: In this paper, the authors derive constrained optimal investment strategies for long-term savers who want to invest in stocks but fear potential losses, such as their retirement income. The strategies, called probability hedging, can be derived under different utility functions and multifactor model assumptions. The authors demonstrate that the choice of utility function affects the probability measure and that logarithmic utility results in an intuitive probability hedge. This strategy not only facilitates communication but also provides a better distribution of terminal wealth compared to traditional hedging approaches.

Beating a Benchmark: Dynamic Programming May Not Be the Right Numerical Approach

Pieter M. Van Staden et al.

Summary: We analyze dynamic investment strategies for benchmark outperformance, using two objectives of practical interest to investors: maximizing the information ratio (IR) and obtaining a favorable tracking difference (cumulative outperformance) relative to the benchmark. For the tracking difference, we propose a simple objective function based on quadratic deviation (QD) from an elevated benchmark. Under idealized assumptions, we provide closed-form solutions for the controls. For more realistic cases, we use a neural network (NN) to represent the control and solve a sampled optimization problem. Comparing with IR-optimal strategies, the QD-optimal investment strategies result in more diversified asset allocations during certain periods of the investment time horizon.

Stocks for the long run? Evidence from a broad sample of developed markets

Aizhan Anarkulova et al.

Summary: This study looked at the distribution of long-term equity returns in 39 developed countries from 1841 to 2019, finding significant uncertainty in stock market outcomes over long periods. It estimates a 12% chance that a diversified investor will lose relative to inflation over a 30-year investment horizon, contradicting the conventional belief that stocks are safe investments over the long term.

Multi-Asset Class Factor Premix: A Strategic Asset Allocation Perspective

Stefano Cavaglia et al.

Summary: In this article, the authors examine the advantages of strategically allocating factor premia for long-term investors. They evaluate single-asset-class and multi-asset-class factor premia overlays on equity-bond investments and find that these overlays offer notable benefits in terms of increasing the likelihood of achieving accumulation goals, smoothing the transition path, and enhancing distribution outcomes.

Sharpe Parity Redux

Joseph Simonian et al.

Summary: This article investigates the performance of the Sharpe parity asset allocation strategy compared to other well-known portfolio strategies. The study finds that the performance of each strategy depends on the constraints applied during the portfolio construction process, highlighting the importance of careful asset universe selection and calibration of asset class level constraints for portfolio managers.

Optimal asset allocation for outperforming a stochastic benchmark target

C. H. E. N. D. I. NI et al.

Summary: This study proposes a data-driven Neural Network optimization framework for determining the optimal multi-period dynamic asset allocation strategy to outperform a stochastic benchmark and achieve a higher terminal wealth. Empirical results demonstrate that this approach is capable of learning the best strategy directly from historical market returns without assuming any parametric model of financial market dynamics. The optimal adaptive strategy significantly outperforms the benchmark constant proportion strategy in terms of terminal wealth.

The benchmark inclusion subsidy

Anil K. Kashyap et al.

Summary: Evaluating portfolio managers relative to a benchmark has real effects by generating additional demand for assets inside the benchmark, leading to a benchmark inclusion subsidy. This overturns the proposition that an investment's value is independent of the entity considering it, with implications for valuing M&A, spinoffs, and IPOs. The characteristics determining the subsidy, its potential size, and empirical support for the model's predictions are all discussed.

Active and passive portfolio management with latent factors

A. Al-Aradi et al.

Summary: The paper addresses a portfolio selection problem that combines active and passive objectives using convex analysis techniques. A closed-form solution for the optimal portfolio is obtained, with a theorem establishing its uniqueness, in a general semimartingale market model driven by latent factors. Incorporating latent factors aims to improve growth rate estimation in a model where growth rates are driven by an unobservable Markov chain. The optimal strategy is the posterior average of optimal strategies from historical backtests.

On the Distribution of Terminal Wealth under Dynamic Mean-Variance Optimal Investment Strategies

Pieter M. van Staden et al.

Summary: The study compares the distributions of terminal wealth obtained from different approaches to dynamic mean-variance optimization, including precommitment MV approach, dynamically optimal MV approach, and time-consistent MV approach with constant and wealth-dependent risk aversion parameters. The results show that for wealth outcomes below the expected value target, the strategy with a constant risk aversion parameter consistently outperforms the dynamically optimal MV strategy, while an appropriately chosen constant proportion strategy consistently outperforms the strategy with wealth-dependent risk aversion parameter. The study also highlights that the precommitment MV strategy results in a terminal wealth distribution with fundamentally different characteristics compared to the other strategies.

OPTIMAL TRACKING PORTFOLIO WITH A RATCHETING CAPITAL BENCHMARK

Lijun Bo et al.

Summary: This study focuses on finite horizon portfolio management by optimally tracking a ratcheting capital benchmark process. It transforms the problem with floor constraints into an unconstrained control problem with a running maximum cost, leading to a nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation with a Neumann boundary condition for the optimal solution. The research establishes the existence of a unique classical solution through dual transform and probabilistic representation, providing a complete characterization of the feedback optimal portfolio.

Portfolio selection with active strategies: how long only constraints shape convictions

Charles-Albert Lehalle et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been significant attention on the research of equity factors, with both academic literature and the financial industry exploring different portfolio implementation strategies. A quantitative long only portfolio and discretionary stock pickers demonstrate some similarities, with selected stocks striking a balance between low beta and high loading on the factor. Through theoretical results and numerical experiments, the crucial role of low beta stocks and the co-linearity of the risk model with the factor used to forecast returns is highlighted.

DEEP NEURAL NETWORKS ALGORITHMS FOR STOCHASTIC CONTROL PROBLEMS ON FINITE HORIZON: CONVERGENCE ANALYSIS

Come Hure et al.

Summary: This paper introduces algorithms for high-dimensional stochastic control problems using deep learning and dynamic programming techniques. It approximates the optimal policy and value function with neural networks and Monte Carlo regression, respectively, and provides theoretical justifications for these algorithms. Numerical results on various applications demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms.
