Abstract

In this article, the authors show that it is possible to enhance traditional Black and Litterman strategic asset allocation (SAA) models with a behavioral approach based on news sentiment. In an out-of-sample backtest over 10 years, the news sentiment–based SAA outperforms the benchmark SAA by 0.5% a year with less risk and a 20% higher Sharpe ratio. The news sentiment data are also statistically different from price momentum measures.
