Aggregation of downside risk and portfolio selection

From MaRDI portal





The paper studies portfolio selection when risk is measured by a below-target deviation measure (\textit{downside risk}), where the benchmark rate corresponds to the safe return of the market. It establishes existence and uniqueness results for downside-efficient portfolios aggregating finitely many assets. The tractability of downside-efficient portfolios allows for a risk analysis that parallels classical mean-variance analysis, with corresponding notions of efficient frontier, tangency portfolio, and Sortino ratio. The theoretical analysis is complemented by numerical illustrations based on Monte Carlo simulations.
