Abstract

The basic elements of modern portfolio theory are covered in this Chapter. Starting from the basics of price return time series, the authors introduce Markowitz’s mean variance optimization and the central concept of the efficient frontier. Extensions to other risk measure optimization methods within the portfolio theory framework are covered, including: tangent portfolio optimization which exploits the relationship between the efficient frontier and the capital market line; minimization of the conditional value-at-risk, a tail-risk measure replacing the variance; and the Black–Litterman model, designed to address issues appearing in mean variance optimization. The classical implementation of these optimization techniques using moving windows of historical asset return data is developed.

See, for example, Chap. 2 of Tsay (2010).

By default, a vector v is assumed to be a column vector, whereas its transpose, written vT, is a row vector. Thus, the column vector, v, having elements v1, …, vn can be written v = (v1, …, vn)T, and the row vector vT can be written vT = (v1, …, vn).
 
4
“Daily” refers only to trading days.
 
5
These are assumed to be simple return values, ri(t) = (Pi(t) − Pi(t − 1))/Pi(t − 1), where Pi(t) is the daily closing prices of asset i.
 
6
The weights are applied at the beginning of trading day t and are assumed not to change during the trading day.
 
7
en = (1, …, 1)T.
 
8
Because L(w, q, θ0) is quadratic in w with a positive coefficient on the quadratic term, the optimizing condition is equivalent to a minimizing one.
 
9
Specifically, wlb,i ≤ wi ≤ wub,i,  i = 1, …, n.
 
10
They are the vectors \( {\boldsymbol{\theta}}_1^T=\left({\theta}_{1,1},\dots, {\theta}_{1,n}\ \right) \), \( {\boldsymbol{\theta}}_2^T=\left({\theta}_{2,1},\dots, {\theta}_{2,n}\ \right) \).
 
11
Some constraints may not, if fact, affect the minimizing solution. Standard techniques recognize when this occurs and eliminate such constraints from consideration.
 
12
For a long-only strategy, it is sufficient to require 0 ≤ wi,  i = 1, …, , n and \( {\boldsymbol{e}}_n^T\boldsymbol{w}=1 \).
 
13
It takes some computation to show that (3.20) satisfies (3.12a)—that is, that (σm, \( {\overline{r}}_m \)) is on the efficient frontier and that the slope of the efficient frontier determined by Eq. (3.12a) at (σm, \( {\overline{r}}_m \)) is indeed the slope of the CAPM line.
 
14
The Basel III regulatory framework for banks requires CVaR as the risk measure.
 
15
Recall that VaR is defined as positive for losses.
 
16
In addition, CVaR satisfies the desirable attributes of a coherent risk measure and is consistent with performance relations of risk-averse investors (see Pflug, 2000).
 
17
It is common in the literature to define f(w, r) alternatively as the loss probability function, whose samples provide negative return values.
 
18
The returns in the set S are negative.
