Portfolio optimization for seed selection in diverse weather scenarios.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to develop a method for selection of optimal soybean varieties for the American Midwest using data analytics. We extracted the knowledge about 174 varieties from the dataset, which contained information about weather, soil, yield and regional statistical parameters. Next, we predicted the yield of each variety in each of 6,490 observed subregions of the Midwest. Furthermore, yield was predicted for all the possible weather scenarios approximated by 15 historical weather instances contained in the dataset. Using predicted yields and covariance between varieties through different weather scenarios, we performed portfolio optimisation. In this way, for each subregion, we obtained a selection of varieties, that proved superior to others in terms of the amount and stability of yield. According to the rules of Syngenta Crop Challenge, for which this research was conducted, we aggregated the results across all subregions and selected up to five soybean varieties that should be distributed across the network of seed retailers. The work presented in this paper was the winning solution for Syngenta Crop Challenge 2017.

Robust Portfolio Optimization Using Pseudodistances.

Project description:The presence of outliers in financial asset returns is a frequently occurring phenomenon which may lead to unreliable mean-variance optimized portfolios. This fact is due to the unbounded influence that outliers can have on the mean returns and covariance estimators that are inputs in the optimization procedure. In this paper we present robust estimators of mean and covariance matrix obtained by minimizing an empirical version of a pseudodistance between the assumed model and the true model underlying the data. We prove and discuss theoretical properties of these estimators, such as affine equivariance, B-robustness, asymptotic normality and asymptotic relative efficiency. These estimators can be easily used in place of the classical estimators, thereby providing robust optimized portfolios. A Monte Carlo simulation study and applications to real data show the advantages of the proposed approach. We study both in-sample and out-of-sample performance of the proposed robust portfolios comparing them with some other portfolios known in literature.

Belief Propagation Algorithm for Portfolio Optimization Problems.

Project description:The typical behavior of optimal solutions to portfolio optimization problems with absolute deviation and expected shortfall models using replica analysis was pioneeringly estimated by S. Ciliberti et al. [Eur. Phys. B. 57, 175 (2007)]; however, they have not yet developed an approximate derivation method for finding the optimal portfolio with respect to a given return set. In this study, an approximation algorithm based on belief propagation for the portfolio optimization problem is presented using the Bethe free energy formalism, and the consistency of the numerical experimental results of the proposed algorithm with those of replica analysis is confirmed. Furthermore, the conjecture of H. Konno and H. Yamazaki, that the optimal solutions with the absolute deviation model and with the mean-variance model have the same typical behavior, is verified using replica analysis and the belief propagation algorithm.

Whale Optimization Algorithm for Multiconstraint Second-Order Stochastic Dominance Portfolio Optimization.

Project description:In the field of asset allocation, how to balance the returns of an investment portfolio and its fluctuations is the core issue. Capital asset pricing model, arbitrage pricing theory, and Fama-French three-factor model were used to quantify the price of individual stocks and portfolios. Based on the second-order stochastic dominance rule, the higher moments of return series, the Shannon entropy, and some other actual investment constraints, we construct a multiconstraint portfolio optimization model, aiming at comprehensively weighting the returns and risk of portfolios rather than blindly maximizing its returns. Furthermore, the whale optimization algorithm based on FTSE100 index data is used to optimize the above multiconstraint portfolio optimization model, which significantly improves the rate of return of the simple diversified buy-and-hold strategy or the FTSE100 index. Furthermore, extensive experiments validate the superiority of the whale optimization algorithm over the other four swarm intelligence optimization algorithms (gray wolf optimizer, fruit fly optimization algorithm, particle swarm optimization, and firefly algorithm) through various indicators of the results, especially under harsh constraints.

Fuzzy Portfolio Selection Using Stochastic Correlation

Project description:Here we have proposed fuzzy portfolio selection model using stochastic correlation (FPSMSC) to overcome limitations both in fuzzy and stochastic world. The newly proposed model not only gets harmonious efficient frontier, but also considers the future movement of stock prices based on fuzzy expertise knowledge. The investment weights of the model have been optimized based on the monthly return data of 18 stocks listed in S&P500 from October 2011 to September 2015. The proposed model has provided higher returns in the whole regime of risk for the period from October 2014 to September 2015, whose monthly return data are used as training data than other available portfolio selection models, i.e., fuzzy portfolio selection models with credibility and possibility and statistic model. Also, the present model has shown the better smoothness of the variations of returns with respect to risk aversion parameter, λ, from the monthly data from October 2015 to September 2016, which is not included to training database. Especially, our model is superior to other models in the regime of 0–0.3 for the risk aversion level. It is demonstrating that the FPSMSC is efficient for the investors who tend to seek the high return in portfolio management.

Real-world datasets for portfolio selection and solutions of some stochastic dominance portfolio models.

Project description:A large number of portfolio selection models have appeared in the literature since the pioneering work of Markowitz. However, even when computational and empirical results are described, they are often hard to replicate and compare due to the unavailability of the datasets used in the experiments. We provide here several datasets for portfolio selection generated using real-world price values from several major stock markets. The datasets contain weekly return values, adjusted for dividends and for stock splits, which are cleaned from errors as much as possible. The datasets are available in different formats, and can be used as benchmarks for testing the performances of portfolio selection models and for comparing the efficiency of the algorithms used to solve them. We also provide, for these datasets, the portfolios obtained by several selection strategies based on Stochastic Dominance models (see "On Exact and Approximate Stochastic Dominance Strategies for Portfolio Selection" (Bruni et al. [2])). We believe that testing portfolio models on publicly available datasets greatly simplifies the comparison of the different portfolio selection strategies.

A novel two-phase robust portfolio selection and optimization approach under uncertainty: A case study of Tehran stock exchange.

Project description:Portfolio construction is one of the most critical problems in financial markets. In this paper, a new two-phase robust portfolio selection and optimization approach is proposed to deal with the uncertainty of the data, increasing the robustness of investment process against uncertainty, decreasing computational complexity, and comprehensive assessments of stocks from different financial aspects and criteria are provided. In the first phase of this approach, all candidate stocks' efficiency is measured using a robust data envelopment analysis (RDEA) method. Then in the second phase, by applying robust mean-semi variance-liquidity (RMSVL) and robust mean-absolute deviation-liquidity (RMADL) models, the amount of investment in each qualified stock is determined. Finally, the proposed approach is implemented in a real case study of the Tehran stock exchange (TSE). Additionally, a sensitivity analysis of all robust models of this study is examined. Illustrative results show that the proposed approach is effective for portfolio selection and optimization in the presence of uncertain data.

Originating multiple-objective portfolio selection by counter-COVID measures and analytically instigating robust optimization by mean-parameterized nondominated paths

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic is unleashing crises of humanity, economy, and finance. Portfolio selection is widely recognized as the foundation of modern financial economics. Therefore, it is naturally crucial and inviting to utilize portfolio selection in order to counter COVID-19 in stock markets. We originate a counter-COVID measure for stocks, extend portfolio selection, and construct multiple-objective portfolio selection. Because of the uncertainty in measuring counter-COVID, we perform robust optimization. Specifically, we analytically compute the optimal solutions as a trail of an optimal portfolio due to the change of counter-COVID. We call the trail as mean-parameterized nondominated path. Moreover, the path is a continuous function of the change, so the portfolio relatively mildly varies for the change. In contrast, researchers typically still focus on 2-objective robust illustrations and infrequently explicitly compute the optimal solutions for multiple-objective portfolio optimization. To the best of our knowledge, there is limited research for multiple-objective portfolio selection of COVID and for the robust optimization of multiple-objective portfolio selection. In such an area, this paper contributes to the literature. The implications to fight COVID are that investors minimize risk, maximize return, and maximize counter-COVID in stock markets and that investors ascertain the multiple-objective portfolio selection as relatively robust.

Achieving diverse and monoallelic olfactory receptor selection through dual-objective optimization design.

Project description:Multiple-objective optimization is common in biological systems. In the mammalian olfactory system, each sensory neuron stochastically expresses only one out of up to thousands of olfactory receptor (OR) gene alleles; at the organism level, the types of expressed ORs need to be maximized. Existing models focus only on monoallele activation, and cannot explain recent observations in mutants, especially the reduced global diversity of expressed ORs in G9a/GLP knockouts. In this work we integrated existing information on OR expression, and constructed a comprehensive model that has all its components based on physical interactions. Analyzing the model reveals an evolutionarily optimized three-layer regulation mechanism, which includes zonal segregation, epigenetic barrier crossing coupled to a negative feedback loop that mechanistically differs from previous theoretical proposals, and a previously unidentified enhancer competition step. This model not only recapitulates monoallelic OR expression, but also elucidates how the olfactory system maximizes and maintains the diversity of OR expression, and has multiple predictions validated by existing experimental results. Through making an analogy to a physical system with thermally activated barrier crossing and comparative reverse engineering analyses, the study reveals that the olfactory receptor selection system is optimally designed, and particularly underscores cooperativity and synergy as a general design principle for multiobjective optimization in biology.

Learning zero-cost portfolio selection with pattern matching.

Project description:We replicate and extend the adversarial expert based learning approach of Györfi et al to the situation of zero-cost portfolio selection implemented with a quadratic approximation derived from the mutual fund separation theorems. The algorithm is applied to daily sampled sequential Open-High-Low-Close data and sequential intraday 5-minute bar-data from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Statistical tests of the algorithms are considered. The algorithms are directly compared to standard NYSE test cases from prior literature. The learning algorithm is used to select parameters for experts generated by pattern matching past dynamics using a simple nearest-neighbour search algorithm. It is shown that there is a speed advantage associated with using an analytic solution of the mutual fund separation theorems. We argue that the strategies are on the boundary of profitability when considered in the context of their application to intraday quantitative trading but demonstrate that patterns in financial time-series on the JSE could be systematically exploited in collective and that they are persistent in the data investigated. We do not suggest that the strategies can be profitably implemented but argue that these types of patterns may exists for either structural of implementation cost reasons.

An artificial bee colony algorithm for uncertain portfolio selection.

Project description:Portfolio selection is an important issue for researchers and practitioners. In this paper, under the assumption that security returns are given by experts' evaluations rather than historical data, we discuss the portfolio adjusting problem which takes transaction costs and diversification degree of portfolio into consideration. Uncertain variables are employed to describe the security returns. In the proposed mean-variance-entropy model, the uncertain mean value of the return is used to measure investment return, the uncertain variance of the return is used to measure investment risk, and the entropy is used to measure diversification degree of portfolio. In order to solve the proposed model, a modified artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is designed. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the modelling idea and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
