Abstract

The Omega Ratio is a recent performance measure. It captures both, the downside and upside potential of the constructed portfolio, while remaining consistent with utility maximization. In this paper, a new approach to compute the maximum Omega Ratio as a linear program is derived. While the Omega ratio is considered to be a non-convex function, we show an exact formulation in terms of a convex optimization problem, and transform it as a linear program. The convex reformulation for the Omega Ratio maximization is a direct analogue to mean-variance framework and the Sharpe Ratio maximization.

使用线性规划优化Omega比率

欧米茄比率是最近的一项绩效衡量指标。它捕获了构建的投资组合的下行和上行潜力，同时与效用最大化保持一致。本文给出了一种用线性规划计算最大欧米茄比的新方法。虽然Omega比率被认为是一个非凸函数，但我们给出了一个关于凸优化问题的精确公式，并将其转换为一个线性程序。欧米茄比率最大化的凸重构是对均值-方差框架和夏普比率最大化的直接模拟。
