This paper empirically examines the portfolio diversification effect using data from both KOSPI and KOSDAQ. In KOSPI market, portfolio diversification effect disappears when more than 18 stocks are added in the portfolio. About 63% of portfolio risk is eliminated. In KOSDAQ market, the maximum portfolio diversification effect is achieved when 17 stocks are at least included in a portfolio. The maximum cumulative risk reduction is 35%.

The study empirically examines the effects of loan portfolio diversification on bank risk and return in the nascent banking market of Vietnam. Loan portfolio diversification is captured through the Hirschman-Herfindahl index and the Shannon Entropy with sectoral exposures. We access each bank's financial reports to collect the required data, especially the breakdown of sectoral loan portfolios, thus constituting a unique dataset. To compute bank return, we use the traditional accounting indicators, including return-on-assets, return-on-equity, and net-interest margin. For bank risk, we utilize the loan-loss provisions and non-performing loans relative to gross customer loans. Using a sample of 30 commercial banks over the period from 2008 to 2019 and the system generalized method of moments estimator for the dynamic panel, we indicate the downsides of portfolio diversification. Concretely, we observe that all diversification measures exhibit significantly negative signs in all regressions across different bank return proxies. At the same time, the estimates display the significant and positive impact of diversification on the non-performing loan ratio. Hence, sectoral loan portfolio diversification significantly hampers bank performance in both aspects of lower return and higher credit risk. The results are robust across a rich set of bank performance and portfolio diversification measures.

The maximum weight of single stock in mutual fund is limited by regulations to enforce diversification. Under incomplete information with added constraints on portfolio weights, enhanced performance had been reported in previous researches. We analyze a weight vector to examine the effects of additional constraints on the portfolio's performance by computing the Euclidean distance from the in-sample tangency portfolio, as opposed to previous researches which analyzed ex-post return only. Empirical experiment was performed on Mean-variance and Minimum-variance model with Fama French's 30 industry portfolio and 10 industry portfolio for the last 1,000 months from August 1932 to November 2015. We find that diversification-constrained portfolios have 7% to 26% smaller Euclidean distances with the benchmark portfolio compared to those of unconstrained portfolios and 3% to 11% greater Sharpe Ratio.

본 연구는 투자 포트폴리오를 구성함에 있어 금융자산 뿐만 아니라 비금융자산 중 최근 대중 투자자들로부터 관심을 가지고 급부상하고 있는 음악저작권 조각 투자를 포함시켰을 때 얻을 수 있는 포트폴리오 분산 효과를 검증하였다. 국내 음악저작권 자산의 투자와 관련한 지수가 발표된 2019년 1월부터 2022년 6월까지 42개월간의 기간 동안의 데이터를 활용하여 전통적 글로벌 분산 투자 포트폴리오를 구성하고, 해당 포트폴리오에 음악저작권 투자 지수를 포함시킨 비금융자산 편입 포트폴리오를 추가로 구성하여 분석하였다. 분석 과정에서 포트폴리오 자체가 발생시키는 효과보다는 비금융자산인 음악저작권 자산의 포함 여부에 따른 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 기본적으로 활용되는 포트폴리오 전략인 단순보유, 지속 재조정, 평균-분산 최적화, 리스크패러티 등 네 가지 포트폴리오 전략을 활용하였다. 분석 결과 음악저작권 자산을 포함한 포트폴리오는 네 가지 포트폴리오 전략 모두에서 위험은 감소하였지만, 수익률은 개선되는 효과를 보여주었다. 이는 위험 대비 수익을 고려하는 지표인 샤프지수가 크게 개선되는 결과를 가져오는 것으로, 음악저작권 자산을 투자 포트폴리오에 포함시키는 것은 의미 있는 포트폴리오 분산투자 효과가 존재함을 보여주었다. 본 연구를 통해 전통적 금융자산을 통한 글로벌 분산투자 포트폴리오에 음악저작권 투자를 포함함으로써 유의미한 포트폴리오 분산투자 효과가 있음을 동적 자산 배분 관점에서 처음으로 밝혔다는 점에서 본 연구의 학술적 의미를 찾을 수 있으며, 나아가 비금융자산을 포트폴리오에 편입함으로써 포트폴리오 성과를 개선할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

Purpose - This study empirically investigates whether the risk property included in fat-tails of return distributions is systematic or unsystematic based on the devised statistical methods. Design/methodology/approach - This study devised empirical designs based on two traditional methods: principal component analysis (PCA) and the testing method of portfolio diversification effect. The fatness of the tails in return distributions is quantitatively measured by statistical probability. Findings - According to the results, the risk property in the fat-tails of return distributions has the economic meanings of eigenvalues having a value greater than 1 through PCA, and also systematic risk that cannot be removed through portfolio diversification. In other words, the fat-tails of return distributions have the properties of the common factors, which may explain the changes of stock returns. Meanwhile, the fatness of the tails in the portfolio return distributions shows the asymmetric relationship of common factors on the tails of return distributions. The negative tail in the portfolio return distribution has a much closer relation with the property of common factors, compared to the positive tail. Research implications or Originality - This empirical evidence may complement the existing studies related to tail risk which is utilized in pricing models as a common factor.

Purpose - This study compares the performances of dynamic asset allocation strategies using Korean stocks and U.S. dollar, which have been negatively correlated for a long time, to examine the diversification effects in the portfolios of them. Design/methodology/approach - In the current study, we use KOSPI200 index, as a proxy of the aggregated portfolio of Korean stocks, and USDKRW foreign exchange rate to implement various portfolio management strategies. We consider the equally-weighted, risk-parity, minimum variance, most diversified, and growth optimal portfolios for comparison. Findings - We first find the enhancement of risk adjusted returns due to risk reduction rather than return increasement for all the portfolios of consideration. Second, the enhancement is more pronounced for the trading strategies using correlations as well as volatilities compared to those using volatilities only. Third, the diversification effect has become stronger after the global financial crisis in 2008. Lastly, we find that the performance of the growth optimal portfolio can be improved by utilizing the well-known momentum phenomenon in stock markets to select the length of the sample period to estimate the expected return. Research implications or Originality - This study shows the potential benefits of adding the U.S. dollar to the portfolios of Korean stocks. The current study is the first to investigate the portfolio of Korean stocks and U.S. dollar from investment perspective.

We analyzed the structures and properties of the global financial market networks using social network analysis approach. The Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) lengths and networks of the global financial markets based on the correlation coefficients have been analyzed. Firstly, similar to the previous studies on the global stock indices using MST length, the diversification effects in the global multi-asset portfolio can disappear during the crisis as the correlations among the asset class and within the asset class increase due to the system risks. Second, through the network visualization, we found the clustering of the asset class in the global financial markets network, which confirms the possible diversification effect in the global multi-asset portfolio. Meanwhile, we found the changes in the structure of the network during the crisis. For the last one, in terms of the degree centrality, the stock indices were the most influential to other assets in the global financial markets network, while in terms of the betweenness centrality, Gold, Silver and AUD. In the practical perspective, we propose the methods such as MST length and network visualization to monitor the change of the correlation risk for the risk management of the multi-asset portfolio.

본 논문에서는 재무성과를 나타내는 다양한 지표 들 중 기업 안정성과 관련하여 대표적인 지표인 유동비율 및 부채비율과 건설업체 사업 포트폴리오 다각화 수준 간에 관계성을 분석하여 시사점을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 건설업체 안정성 변수로 유동비율과 부채비율을 분석변수로 활용하였다. 건설업체의 사업 포트폴리오 다각화 수준을 나타내는 지표로는 베리-허핀달(Berry-Herfindahl) 지수를 활용하였다. 각 변수의 시계열 자료는 2001년 1분기부터 2013년 3분기까지의 분기별 자료이며 금융감독원의 금융공시시스템을 통해 확보하였다. 분석결과, 유동비율과 부채비율이 증가하게 되면 사업 다각화가 이루어지며, 역으로 사업 다각화가 이루어지면 유동비율은 높아지고, 부채비율은 낮아지는 것으로 확인되었다. 하지만 유동비율과 부채비율의 변동이 사업 다각화에 미치는 영향보다 사업 다각화가 유동비율 및 부채비율에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 반면에 다각화수준이 높아지게 되면, 건설업체의 유동비율이 높아지고, 부채비율은 낮아지는 매우 긍정적인 효과가 발생하는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉 건설업체의 재무적 안정성을 추구하는데 있어서 사업 포트폴리오 다각화는 필수적임을 나타낸다.

For multi-line insurance companies, allocating the risk capital to each line is a widely-accepted risk management exercise. In this article we consider several applications of the Euler capital allocation. First, we propose visual tools to present the diversification and the line-wise performance for a given loss portfolio so that the risk managers can understand the interactions among the lines. Secondly, on theoretical side, we prove that the Euler allocation is the directional derivative of the marginal or incremental allocation method, an alternative capital allocation rule in the literature. Lastly, we establish the equivalence between the mean-shortfall optimization and the RORAC optimization when the risk adjusted capital is the expected shortfall, and show how to construct the optimal insurance business mix that maximizes the portfolio RORAC. An actual loss sample of an insurance portfolio is used for numerical illustrations.
