Abstract
ABSTRACT This study uses behavioural portfolio theory (BPT) within the Markowitz Portfolio Theory framework to enhance portfolio management by focusing on sustainability and risk mitigation during market downturns. It selects portfolios to hedge against market lows using Conditional Drawdown at Risk (CDaR) and Expected Regret of Drawdown (ERoD). These measures help choose securities that perform well during a market decline. This study applies drawdown-based risk metrics to assist institutional investors and fiduciaries in making informed investment and fund management decisions. By merging BPT with Markowitz’s mean–variance framework, selected investments are maintained above a safety threshold, contributing to the portfolio’s overall quality and sustainability. Additionally, by incorporating an Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) preference function, the findings suggest that BPT built portfolios meet traditional performance standards and align with socially responsible investment principles, thereby offering higher utility and alignment with investor values focused on sustainable investing.
