• Choice of new decision criteria, based on risk aversion (utility functions) or risk measures (VaR, CVaR and beyond); • Market imperfections, e.g., transaction costs; and, • Specific portfolio strategies, such as portfolio insurance or alternative methods (hedge-funds) At the same time, many new financial products has been introduced, based in particular on financial derivatives Due to this intensive development and increasing complexity, this book has four purposes: • First, to recall standard results and to provide new insights about the axiomatics of the individual choice in an uncertain framework A concise introduction to portfolio choice under uncertainty based on investors’ preferences (usually represented by utility functions), and on several kinds of risk measures These theories are the fundamental basis of portfolio optimization - Chapter recalls the seminal approach of the utility maximization, introduced by Von Neumann and Morgenstern It also deals with further extensions of this theory, such as weighted expected utility theory, non-expected utility theory, etc - Chapter contains a survey about a new approach: the risk measure minimization Such risk measures have been recently introduced in particular to take better account of nonsymmetric asset return distributions • Second, to provide a precise overview on standard portfolio optimization Both passive and active portfolio management are considered Other results, such as risk measure minimization, are more recent V VI Portfolio Optimization and Performance Analysis - Chapter is devoted to the very well-known Markowitz analysis Some extensions are analyzed, in particular with risk minimization constraints such as safety criteria - Chapter deals with two important standard fund managements: managing indexed funds and benchmarked portfolio optimization In particular, statistical methods to replicate a financial index are detailed and discussed As regards benchmarking, the tracking error is computed and analyzed - Chapter recalls results about the main performance measures, such as the Sharpe and Treynor ratios and the Jensen alpha • Third, to make accessible the literature about stochastic optimization applied to mathematical finance (see for example Part III) to students, to researchers who are not specialists on this subject, and to financial engineers In particular, a review of the main standard results both for static and dynamic cases are provided For this purpose, precise mathematical statements are detailed without “too many” technicalities In particular: - Chapter provides an introduction to dynamic portfolio optimization The two main methods are the theory of stochastic control based on dynamic programming principle and, more recently, the martingale approach jointly used with convex duality - Chapter gives two important applications of previous results: the search for an optimal portfolio profile and the long-term management - Chapter is the more “technical” one It provides an overview on portfolio optimization with market frictions, such as incompleteness, transaction costs, labor income, random time horizon, etc • Finally, to show how theoretical results can be applied to practical and operational portfolio optimization (Part IV) This last part of the book deals with structured portfolio management which has grown significantly in the past few years Preface VII - Chapter is devoted to portfolio insurance and, in particular, to OBPI and CPPI strategies - Chapter 10 shows how common strategies, used by practitioners, may be justified by utility maximization under, for example, guarantee constraints It summarizes the main results concerning optimal portfolios when risk measures such as expected shortfall are introduced to limit downside risk - Chapter 11 recalls some problems when dealing with hedge funds, in particular the choice of appropriate performance measures As a by-product, special emphasis is put on: • Utility theory versus practice; • Active versus passive management; and, • Static versus dynamic portfolio management I hope this book will contribute to a better understanding of the modern portfolio theory, both for students and researchers in quantitative finance I am grateful to the CRC editorial staff for encouraging this project, in particular Sunil Nair, and for the help during the preparation of the final version: Michele Dimont and Shashi Kumar Jean-Luc PRIGENT, PARIS, February 2007 Contents List of Tables XIII List of Figures XV I Utility and risk analysis 1 Utility theory 1.1 Preferences under uncertainty 1.1.1 Lotteries 1.1.2 Axioms on preferences 1.2 Expected utility 1.3 Risk aversion 1.3.1 Arrow-Pratt measures of risk aversion 1.3.2 Standard utility functions 1.3.3 Applications to portfolio allocation 1.4 Stochastic dominance 1.5 Alternative expected utility theory 1.5.1 Weighted utility theory 1.5.2 Rank dependent expected utility theory 1.5.3 Non-additive expected utility 1.5.4 Regret theory 1.6 Further reading 7 11 13 15 17 19 24 25 27 32 33 35 Risk measures 2.1 Coherent and convex risk measures 2.1.1 Coherent risk measures 2.1.2 Convex risk measures 2.1.3 Representation of risk measures 2.1.4 Risk measures and utility 2.1.5 Dynamic risk measures 2.2 Standard risk measures 2.2.1 Value-at-Risk 2.2.2 CVaR 2.2.3 Spectral measures of risk 2.3 Further reading 37 37 38 39 40 41 43 48 48 54 59 62 IX ...
