A portfolio is a combination of two or more securities as investment targets for a certain period of time with certain conditions. The Markowitz method is a method that emphasizes efforts to maximize return expectations and can minimize stock risk. One method that can be used to measure risk is Expected Shortfall (ES). ES is an expected measure of risk whose value is above Value-at-Risk (VaR). To make it easier to calculate optimal portfolios with the Markowitz method and risk analysis with ES, an application was made using the Matlab GUI. The data used in this study consisted of three JII stocks including CPIN, CTRA, and BSDE stocks. The results of the portfolio formation with the Markowitz method obtained an optimal portfolio, namely the combination of CPIN = 34.7% and BSDE = 65.3% stocks. At the 95% confidence level, the ES value of 0.206727 is greater than the VaR value (0.15512).

In this chapter, Markowitz mean-variance approach is proposed for examining the best portfolio diversification strategy within three subperiods which are during the global financial crisis (GFC), post-global financial crisis, and during the non-crisis period. In our approach, we used 10 securities from five different industries to represent a risk-mitigation parameter. In this way, the naive diversification strategy is used to serve as a comparison for the approach used. During the computation process, the correlation matrices revealed that the portfolio risk is not well diversified during non-crisis periods, meanwhile, the variance-covariance matrices indicated that volatility can be minimized during portfolio construction. On this basis, 10 efficient portfolios were constructed and the optimal portfolios were selected in each subperiods based on the risk-averse preference. Performance-wise that optimal portfolio dominated the naïve strategy throughout the three subperiods tested. All the optimal portfolios selected are yielding more returns compared to the naïve portfolio.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper studies the optimal portfolio selection for defined contribution (DC) pension fund with mispricing. We adopt the general hyperbolic absolute risk averse (HARA) utility to describe the risk performance of the pension fund managers. The financial market comprises a risk-free asset, a pair of mispriced stocks, and the market index. Using the dynamic programming approach, we construct the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation and obtain the explicit expressions for optimal portfolio choices with two methods. Finally, numerical analysis is presented to illustrate the sensitivity of the optimal portfolios to parameters of the financial market and contribution process. <b>200</b> words.</p>

In this study, we address the topic of sustainable and responsible portfolio investments (SRI). The selection of such portfolios is based, in addition to traditional financial variables, on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. The interest of our approach resides in allowing socially responsible (SR) portfolio investors to select their optimal portfolios by considering their individual preferences for each objective and simultaneous definition of the degrees of acceptance and rejection. In particular, we consider socially responsible portfolio selection as an optimization problem with multiple objectives before applying interactive intuitionistic fuzzy method to solve the portfolio optimization. The robustness of our approach is tested through an empirical study on the top 10 Stocks for ESG values worldwide.

Let Δn be the n-dimensional simplex, ξ = (ξ1, ξ2,…, ξn) be an n-dimensional random vector, and U be a set of utility functions. A vector x*∈ Δn is a U -absolutely optimal portfolio if EuξTx*≥EuξTx for every x ∈ Δn and u∈ U. In this paper, we investigate the following problem: For what random vectors, ξ, do U-absolutely optimal portfolios exist? If U2 is the set of concave utility functions, we find necessary and sufficient conditions on the distribution of the random vector, ξ, in order that it admits a U2-absolutely optimal portfolio. The main result is the following: If x0 is a portfolio having all its entries positive, then x0 is an absolutely optimal portfolio if and only if all the conditional expectations of ξi, given the return of portfolio x0, are the same. We prove that if ξ is bounded below then CARA-absolutely optimal portfolios are also U2-absolutely optimal portfolios. The classical case when the random vector ξ is normal is analyzed. We make a complete investigation of the simplest case of a bi-dimensional random vector ξ = (ξ1, ξ2). We give a complete characterization and we build two dimensional distributions that are absolutely continuous and admit U2-absolutely optimal portfolios.

AbstractInsurance companies and banks regularly have to face stress tests performed by regulatory instances. To model their investment decision problems that includes stress scenarios, we propose the worst-case portfolio approach. Thus, the resulting optimal portfolios are already stress test prone by construction. A central issue of the worst-case portfolio approach is that neither the time nor the order of occurrence of the stress scenarios are known. Even more, there are no probabilistic assumptions regarding the occurrence of the stresses. By defining the relative worst-case loss and introducing the concept of minimum constant portfolio processes, we generalize the traditional concepts of the indifference frontier and the indifference-optimality principle. We prove the existence of a minimum constant portfolio process that is optimal for the multi-stress worst-case problem. As a main result we derive a verification theorem that provides conditions on Lagrange multipliers and nonlinear ordinary differential equations that support the construction of optimal worst-case portfolio strategies. The practical applicability of the verification theorem is demonstrated via numerical solution of various worst-case problems with stresses. There, it is in particular shown that an investor who chooses the worst-case optimal portfolio process may have a preference regarding the order of stresses, but there may also be stress scenarios where he/she is indifferent regarding the order and time of occurrence.
