Abstract
In this paper, we develop a robust conditional value at risk (CVaR) optimal portfolio rebalancing model under various financial constraints to construct sparse and diversified rebalancing portfolios. Our model includes transaction costs and double cardinality constraints in order to capture the trade-off between the limit of investment scale and the diversified industry coverage requirement. We first derive a closed-form solution for the robust CVaR portfolio rebalancing model with only transaction costs. This allows us to conduct an industry risk analysis for sparse portfolio rebalancing in the absence of diversification constraints. Then, we attempt to remedy the hidden industry risk by establishing a new robust portfolio rebalancing model with both sparse and diversified constraints. This is followed by the development of a distributed-version of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) algorithm, where each subproblem admits a closed-form solution. Finally, we conduct empirical tests to compare our proposed strategy with the standard sparse rebalancing and no-rebalancing strategies. The computational results demonstrate that our rebalancing approach produces sparse and diversified portfolios with better industry coverage. Additionally, to measure out-of-sample performance, two superiority indices are created based on worst-case CVaR and annualized return, respectively. Our ADMM strategy outperforms the sparse rebalancing and no-rebalancing strategies in terms of these indices.
