Abstract

To settle down the resolutional uncertainty in optimum portfolio strategy, this paper addresses an incremental-hybrid-Yager’s entropy model to newly describe the relationship between return and risk. Different from the traditional multiperiod portfolio, we design the ratio threshold to divide asset price into different time interval and use state instead of time point to model the dynamic portfolio process. In addition, fuzzy variables are utilized to represent prices of assets, while historical data based on Markov chain is exploited to estimate membership functions of fuzzy prices. At last, a compromised genetic algorithm is designed, and the numerical example shows that the proposed model achieves solid returns compared against the mean-variance model and Markov chain Monte Carlo method.

Highlights

  • Since the original work of Markowitz [1], researches on mean-variance (MV) models for portfolio selection have increased so as to provide financial models with more realistic assumptions

  • To settle down the resolutional uncertainty in optimum portfolio strategy, this paper addresses an incremental-hybrid-Yager’s entropy model to newly describe the relationship between return and risk

  • Because of the investors’ requirement for timely wealth reallocation, a number of scholars have extended the classical MV model to multiperiod portfolio selection, in which the objective aims to select a set of intermediate portfolios instead of just the one originally proposed [5,6,7,8,9]

Summary

Introduction

Since the original work of Markowitz [1], researches on mean-variance (MV) models for portfolio selection have increased so as to provide financial models with more realistic assumptions. To break down the limitation of traditional methods in asset return distribution, this paper constructs a multiperiod discrete portfolio scheme based on entropy models to optimize portfolio strategy with automatic investment ratio adjustment. An overlook factor between PU and FU weakens the prediction accuracy of PUFU models, which is called the resolutional uncertainty (RU) To better understand this uncertainty, we guess the result number of a die has a high probability of 1 or 2; namely, the top face is either 1 or 2 with belief of 0.9. To maximize the portfolio return originated from investors prior investment knowledge and minimize the adverse impact of RU on investment decision, the contribution of this paper is to add the description of RU uncertainty and propose a new dynamic strategy for portfolio adjustment to better control the market risk.
