In this article, we consider the portfolio optimization problem with an expectile objective. Portfolio optimization problems corresponding to other risk measures are often solved by formulating a linear program (LP) that is based on a sample of asset returns. We derive three different LP formulations for the portfolio expectile optimization problem, which can be considered as counterparts to the LP formulations for the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) objective in the works of Rockafellar and Uryasev [43], Ogryczak and Śliwiński [41] and Espinoza and Moreno [21]. When the LPs are based on a simulated sample of the true (assumed continuous) asset returns distribution, the portfolios obtained from the LPs are only approximately optimal. We conduct a numerical case study estimating the suboptimality of the approximate portfolios depending on the sample size, number of assets, and tail-heaviness of the asset returns distribution. Further, the computation times using the three LP formulations are analyzed, showing that the formulation that is based on a scenario aggregation approach is considerably faster than the two alternatives.","PeriodicalId":44159,"journal":{"name":"Statistics & Risk Modeling","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2016-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/strm-2016-0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67314762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
