3 Markowitz s Mean-variance analysis Problem: minw w T Σw, s.t. w T 1 = 1, and w T µ = r 0. Solution: w = c 1 Σ 1 µ + c 2 Σ 1 1 Cornerstone of modern finance where CAPM and many portfolio theory is built upon. Too sensitive on input vectors and their estimation errors. Can result in extreme short positions (Green and Holdfield, 1992). More severe for large portfolio. Princeton University Asset Allocation with Gross Exposure Constraints 3/25

5 Challenge of High Dimensionality Estimating high-dim cov-matrices is intrinsically challenging. Suppose we have 500 (2000) stocks to be managed. There are 125K (2 m) free parameters! Yet, 2-year daily returns yield only about sample size n = 500. Accurately estimating it poses significant challenges. Impact of dimensionality is large and poorly understood: Risk: w T ˆΣw. Allocation: ĉ1ˆσ ĉ 2ˆΣ 1ˆµ. Accumulating of millions of estimation errors can have a devastating effect. Princeton University Asset Allocation with Gross Exposure Constraints 4/25

Shrinkage and Bayesian: Expected return (Klein and Bawa, 76; Chopra and Ziemba, 93; ) Cov. matrix (Ledoit & Wolf, 03, 04) Factor-model based estimation (Fan, Fan and Lv, 2008; Pesaran and Zaffaroni, 2008) Robust portfolio allocation (Goldfarb and Iyengar, 2003) No-short-sale portfolio (De Roon et al., 2001; Jagannathan and Ma, 2003; DeMiguel et al., 2008; Bordie et al., 2008) None of them are far enough; no theory.

9 About this talk Propose utility maximization with gross-sale constraint. It bridges no-short-sale constraint to no-constraint on allocation. Oracle (Theoretical), actual and empirical risks are very close. No error accumulation effect. Elements in covariance can be estimated separately; facilitates the use of non-synchronized high-frequency data. Provide theoretical understanding why wrong constraint can even beat Markowitz s portfolio (Jagannathan and Ma, 2003). Portfolio selection and tracking. Select or track a portfolio with limited number of stocks. Improve any given portfolio with modifications of weights on limited number of stocks.

12 Short-constrained portfolio selection maxw E[U(w T R)] s.t. w T 1 = 1, w 1 c, Aw = a. Equality Constraint: A = µ = expected portfolio return. A can be chosen so that we put constraint on sectors. Short-sale constraint: When c = 1, no short-sale allowed. When c =, problem becomes Markowitz s. Portfolio selection: solution is usually sparse.
