Abstract
SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page SC41-SC53, June 2024. Abstract.A multiperiod portfolio optimization is described with Monte Carlo sampled risky asset paths under realistic constraints on the investment policies. The proposed approach can be used with various asset and risk models. It is flexible as it does not require dynamic programming or any transformations. As examples, the variance and semivariance risks are considered leading to mean-variance and mean-semivariance formulations, respectively. A quasi-Newton method with an adjoint gradient computation can solve the resulting optimization problems efficiently. Numerical examples show efficient frontiers together with optimal asset allocations computed for mean-variance and mean-semivariance portfolios with two and five assets.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
