Aiming to improve the performance of existing reversion based online portfolio selection strategies, we propose a novel multi-period strategy named “Vector Autoregressive Weighting Reversion” (VAWR). Firstly, vector autoregressive moving-average algorithm used in time series prediction is transformed into exploring the dynamic relationships between different assets for more accurate price prediction. Secondly, we design the modified online passive aggressive technique and advance a scheme to weigh investment risk and cumulative experience to update the closed-form of portfolio. Theoretical analysis and experimental results confirm the effectiveness and robustness of our strategy. Compared with the state-of-the-art strategies, VAWR greatly increases cumulative wealth, and it obtains the highest annualized percentage yield and sharp ratio on various public datasets. These improvements and easy implementation support the practical applications of VAWR.

Online portfolio selection and simulation are some of the most important problems in several research communities, including finance, engineering, statistics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc. The primary aim of online portfolio selection is to determine portfolio weights in every investment period (i.e., daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) to maximize the investor’s final wealth after the end of investment period (e.g., 1 year or longer). In this paper, we present an efficient online portfolio selection strategy that makes use of market indices and benchmark indices to take advantage of the mean reversal phenomena at minimal risks. Based on empirical studies conducted on recent historical datasets for the period 2000 to 2015 on four different stock markets (i.e., NYSE, S&P500, DJIA, and TSX), the proposed strategy has been shown to outperform both Anticor and OLMAR — the two most prominent portfolio selection strategies in contemporary literature.

Mean reversion is an important property when constructing efficient contrarian strategies. Researchers observe that mean reversion has multiperiodical and asymmetric nature simultaneously in real market. To better utilize mean reversion and improve the existing online portfolio selection strategies, we propose a new online strategy named multiperiodical asymmetric mean reversion (MAMR). The MAMR strategy incorporates a multipiecewise loss function with the moving average method and then imitates the passive-aggressive algorithm. We further provide a solution via convex optimization. This strategy runs in linear time and thus is suitable for large-scale trading applications. Our empirical results testing six real market datasets show that this strategy can achieve better results in bearing higher transaction cost.

Online portfolio selection (OLPS) is a fundamental and challenging problem in financial engineering, which faces two practical constraints during the real trading, i.e., cardinality constraint and non-zero transaction costs. In order to achieve greater feasibility in financial markets, in this paper, we propose a novel online portfolio selection method named LExp4.TCGP with theoretical guarantee of sublinear regret to address the OLPS problem with the two constraints. In addition, we incorporate side information into our method based on contextual bandit, which further improves the effectiveness of our method. Extensive experiments conducted on four representative real-world datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods when cardinality constraint and non-zero transaction costs co-exist.
