Risk-adjusted return is believed to be one of the optimal parameters to determine an optimum portfolio. A risk-adjusted return is a calculation of the profit or potential profit from an investment that takes into account the degree of risk that must be accepted to achieve it. This paper presents a new procedure in portfolio selection and utilizes these results to optimize the risk level of risk-adjusted Islamic stock portfolios. It deals with the weekly close price of active issuers listed on Jakarta Islamic Index Indonesia for a certain time interval. Overall, this paper highlights portfolio selection, which includes determining the number of stocks, grouping the issuers via technical analysis, and selecting the best risk-adjusted return of portfolios. The nominated portfolio is modeled using Quadratic Programming (QP). The result of this study shows that the portfolio built using the lowest Value at Risk (VaR) outperforms the market proxy on a risk-adjusted basis of M-squared and was chosen as the best portfolio that can be optimized using QP with a minimum risk of 2.86%. The portfolio with the lowest beta, on the other hand, will produce a minimum risk that is nearly 60% lower than the optimal risk-adjusted return portfolio. The results of QP are well verified by a heuristic optimizer of fmincon.

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.

There have been many studies to build a model that can help investors construct optimal portfolio. Most of the previous models, however, are based upon the path-breaking Markowitz model (1959) which is a quantitative model. One of the most important problems with that kind of quantitative model is that, in reality, most of the investors use not only quantitative, but also qualitative information when they select their optimal portfolio. Since collecting both types of information from the markets are time consuming and expensive, making a set of target assets smaller, without suffering heavy loss in the rate of return, would attract investors. To extract only desired assets among all available assets, we need knowledge that identifies investors' preference for the risk of the assets. This study suggests two-layer decision-making rules capable of identifying an investor's risk preference and an architecture applying them to a quantitative portfolio model based on risk and expected return. Our knowledge-based portfolio system is to build an investor's preference-oriented portfolio. The empirical tests using the data from Korean capital markets show the results that our model contributes significantly to the construction of a better portfolio in the perspective of an investor's benefit/cost ratio than that produced by the existing portfolio models.

본 논문은 단일 종목에 투자금을 전액 투자하는 것에 비해 다수의 종목에 분산투자하는 것이 투자 위험을 보다 감소시킬 수 있다는 포트폴리오 최적화 문제를 다룬다. 널리 알려진 Markowitz의 수익률에 대한 평균-분산 기법(MV)은 위험요인인 분산(또는 표준편차)을 감소시키기 위해 지배원리를 적용하여 효율적 투자선에 있는 종목들을 대상으로 분산투자하는 포트폴리오를 구성하였다. 반면에, 본 논문에서는 최소표준편차를 가진 종목을 필수 투자종목으로 선정하고, 필수 투자종목과 비양(음의, 무)의 상관관계를 갖는 종목들을 대상으로 포트폴리오를 형성하였다. 제안된 방법을 실험한 결과 MV에 비해 보다 적은 위험(표준편차)을 보였다.

Stock price fluctuations affect investor returns, particularly, in this pandemic situation that has triggered stock market shocks. As a result of this situation, investors prefer to move their money into a safer portfolio. Therefore, in this study, we approach an efficient portfolio model using smart beta and combining others to obtain a fast method to predict investment stock returns. Smart beta is a method to selects stocks that will enter a portfolio quickly and concisely by considering the level of return and risk that has been set according to the ability of investors. A smart beta portfolio is efficient because it tracks with an underlying index and is optimized using the same techniques that active portfolio managers utilize. Using the logistic regression method and the data of 100 low volatility stocks listed on the Indonesia stock exchange from 2009-2019, an efficient portfolio model was made. It can be concluded that an efficient portfolio is formed by a group of stocks that are aggressive and actively traded to produce optimal returns at a certain level of risk in the long-term period. And also, the portfolio selection model generated using the smart beta, beta, alpha, and stock variants is a simple and fast model in predicting the rate of return with an adjusted risk level so that investors can anticipate risks and minimize errors in stock selection.

The optimal portfolio selection problem under inflation risk and subsistence constraints is considered. There are index bonds to invest in financial market and it helps to hedge the inflation risk. By applying the martingale method, the optimal consumption rate and the optimal portfolios are obtained explicitly. Furthermore, the quantitative effect of inflation risk and subsistence constraints on the optimal polices are also described.

In possibility framework, we propose two risk measures named Fuzzy Value-at-Risk and Fuzzy Conditional Value-at-Risk, based on Credibility measure. Two portfolio optimization models for fuzzy portfolio selection problems are formulated. Then a chaos genetic algorithm based on fuzzy simulation is designed, and finally computational results show that the two risk measures can play a role in possibility space similar to Value-at-Risk and Conditional Value-at-Risk in probability space.

본 연구는 최근까지 우리나라는 재산 3분법을 바탕으로 주식, 채권, 실물부동산으로 구성된 전통적인 포트폴리오에 투자하는 것이 대부분이었으나, 포트폴리오 구성시 대표적인 부동산 간접투자상품인 리츠, 부동산펀드 등을 복합적으로 구성한 결과가 투자성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 포트폴리오 구성의 가장 적합한 방법인 평균분산모형을 이용한 실증분석을 하였다. 사용변수는 복합자산 포트폴리오를 보유 자산의 구성에 따라 Portfolio A~Portfolio G까지 분류하였으며, 가격지수는 KOSPI, KRX BOND, REITs(TRUS Y7), FUND(HanwhaLasal), OFFICE(Seoul)로 선정하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째의 경우 채권, 주식, 리츠와 부동산펀드가 결합된 Portfolio D와 실물부동산인 오피스가 추가된 Portfolio G의 위험이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 채권, 주식, 리츠로 구성된 Portfolio B와 부동산펀드가 추가된 Portfolio D가 위험이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났고, 수익률의 경우 채권, 주식, 오피스와 부동산펀드로 구성된 Portfolio F와 리츠까지 편입된 Portfolio G가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 전통적인 재산 3분법으로 구성된 실물부동산 보다 부동산의 비유동성 한계를 제거한 부동산간접투자상품인 리츠와 부동산펀드를 포트폴리오에 구성시 더 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 직접투자의 가장 큰 단점인 비유동성 문제를 해결하여 투자자의 위험을 최소화할 수 있고, 부동산의 소유에 따른 비용을 절감할 수 있으며, 소액으로도 투자가 가능한 부동산 간접투자시장의 활성화가 더욱 필요할 것으로 보인다.

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.
