现实约束下多阶段模糊投资组合的时间一致性策略研究

考虑交易成本约束、借款约束、阈值约束、收益需求约束和基数约束,本文提出多阶段均值—标准下半方差模糊投资组合模型并讨论了该模型的时间一致性最优投资策略。具体如下：首先,基于可能性理论,将模型转化为非线性动态优化问题;由于标准半方差是不可离散的,模型的最优解不具有时间一致性。其次,为获得时间一致的最优投资策略,本文采用博弈论,将该模型转化为时间一致性动态优化问题,并运用离散近似迭代方法求解。最后,通过具体算例比较不同风险偏好系数、不同基数约束和不同借款约束的最优投资策略,以验证模型和算法的有效性。

一类稀疏投资组合双层参数估计模型及其应用

带基约束的投资组合问题是近年来投资组合领域的热点问题,但是参数不确定性直接影响了模型的效果。带基约束的投资组合问题所涉及的参数不仅包括以往研究认为非常重要的预期收益率,还包括控制投资组合规模的稀疏度,尤其是最优稀疏度估计方面的专门研究还十分匮乏。为了使带基约束的投资组合模型更好地为投资决策服务,本文从投资者效用出发,用双层规划的思想构建了带基约束的投资组合双层参数估计模型。然后根据模型的特点,设计了无导数优化算法框架,并基于ADMM对算法子问题进行求解。本文实验针对真实的市场数据给出了预期收益率和最优稀疏度的估计,接着通过与等权重策略和含上下界约束的均值-方差模型进行比较,说明了模型及算法的有效性和实用性。最后,将本文提出的双层参数估计模型推广到了更一般的形式。

具有多元权值约束的鲁棒 LPM 积极投资组合

在用方差控制投资组合风险的同时,由于方差的对称性导致投资组合的收益也受到限制． 相比之下,下偏距 (lower partial moment: LPM) 由于具有只控制风险,而不限制收益的特点,在近年来倍受关注． 但在非正态假设下,LPM 无法获得良好的解析性质． 在对资产收益分布未知的假设下,通过使用最坏情形下的LPM来度量投资组合的损失,提出了具有多元权值约束的鲁棒积极投资组合问题,并获得了具有m( m=0,1,2) -阶 LPM 约束的鲁棒积极投资组合问题的解析解． 通过分析解的性质和比较问题的有效前沿,得到了许多有趣的和新颖的结果． 数值结果比较表明,鲁棒LPM模型比经典的均值－方差模型具有许多更好的性能．

Portfolio rebalancing with an investment horizon and transaction costs

In this paper we consider the problem of rebalancing an existing financial portfolio, where transaction costs have to be paid if we change the amount held of any asset. These transaction costs can be fixed (so paid irrespective of the amount traded provided a trade occurs) and/or variable (related to the amount traded). We indicate the importance of the investment horizon when rebalancing such a portfolio and illustrate the nature of the efficient frontier that results when we have transaction costs. We model the problem as a mixed-integer quadratic programme with an explicit constraint on the amount that can be paid in transaction cost. Our model incorporates the interplay between optimal portfolio allocation, transaction costs and investment horizon. We indicate how to extend our model to include cardinality constraints and present a number of enhancements to the model to improve computational performance. Results are presented for the solution of publicly available test problems involving up to 1317 assets.     

均值-方差模型具有一般不确定性下的最优资产组合选择

引入以记忆系数和无差异系数表征的随机变量测度均值-方差模型的一般不确定性特征,反映投资者的模型信任程度,研究均值-方差模型具有一般不确定性下的最优资产组合选择问题。基于资本市场线理论,构建最优资产组合选择是模型信任程度和基于均值-方差模型的传统资产组合选择的线性函数;基于记忆系数和无差异系数的不同组合,运用基于事例推理的方法求解二次效用投资者的最优模型信任程度,获得均值-方差模型具有一般不确定性下的最优资产组合,并以上证综指1997年1月-2014年8月的月度收益数据形成两个研究样本予以实证比较研究。结果表明,较大风险规避投资者,在较大记忆系数和较小无差异系数下,其模型信任程度调整较快、资产组合调整幅度大,表现出可获得性和代表性行为偏差,通常采取积极资产组合策略;反之,其模型信任程度调整渐进、资产组合调整幅度小,表现出锚定性和保守性行为偏差,通常采取消极资产组合策略;模型一般不确定性对最优资产组合选择的影响强于股票市场记忆性的影响。研究体现了投资者的有限理性,将传统的资产组合选择问题延伸至行为金融学领域。     

非流动性市场中的跨期最优消费和投资策略

本文在Merton跨期最优消费和资产组合的理论框架内引入非流动性资产,构造了一个三资产的连续时间经济模型,探讨流动性约束对投资者最优消费和投资决策的影响。本文用动态规划方法给出了跨期优化问题的解析解。数值分析表明对投资者而言,非流动性资产的真实价值低于其市值,必须引入影子价格来刻划这种流动性效应;流动性约束降低了投资者的福利,并且显著地影响到投资者的消费和投资策略。     

A Multi‐Supplier Sourcing Problem with a Preference Ordering of Suppliers

We study a sourcing problem faced by a firm that seeks to procure a product or a component from a pool of alternative suppliers. The firm has a preference ordering of the suppliers based on factors such as their past performance, quality, service, geographical location, and financial strength, which are commonly included in a supplier scorecard system. Thus, the firm first uses available inventory from supplier 1, if any, then supplier 2, if any, and so on. The suppliers differ in costs and prices. The buyer firm seeks to determine which suppliers to purchase from and in what quantities to maximize its total expected profit subject to the preference ordering constraint. We present the optimal solution to this problem, and show that it has a portfolio structure. It consists of a sub‐set of suppliers that are ordered by their underage and overage costs. This portfolio achieves a substantial profit gain compared to sourcing from a unique supplier. We present an efficient algorithm to compute the optimal solution. Our model applies to component sourcing problems in manufacturing, merchandizing problems in retailing, and capacity reservation problems in services.     

OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO SELECTION WITH UPPER BOUNDS FOR INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES*

In this paper, we consider optimal portfolio selection with no short sales and with upper bounds for individual securities. The solution is reached by directy revising the optimal portfolio without upper bounds. Specifically, our analysis is based on the single-index model, as well as the general multi-index model that provides the return generating process for securities in the arbitrage pricing theory. As demonstrated in a simulation study, the proposed algorithm for optimal portfolio selection usually requires very few iterations. Also, since our approach is developed using intuitive reasoning and simple linear algebra, we are able to provide direct and intuitive justifications for the resulting portfolio choice. Therefore this paper should be of interest to both finance academics and practitioners in portfolio management.     

Illiquide Assets in der Portfoliooptimierung

When optimizing a portfolio, which comprises liquid as well as illiquid assets, under the constraint of a liquidity requirement, one has to take into account the particular characteristics of illiquid assets. Illiquid assets in this context have the constituting property that they can only be sold as a whole and – if sold on a short term basis – selling leads to losses. Performing the analysis of a single period model in a mean downside risk framework with one liquid and one illiquid asset, significant differences are proven in comparison to the results of an optimization concerning solely liquid assets. For example, although the return on assets is safe in the first scenario, the portfolio value is already risky due to the uncertain liquidity requirement and situations arise where the allocation to both the liquid and the illiquid asset is optimal. Furthermore, when asset returns are uncertain, the expected portfolio value depends on the assets’ variances and can even be increased by positive correlations.
