An Analytic Solution for Asset Allocation with a Multivariate Laplace Distribution
In this short note the theory for multivariate asset allocation with elliptically symmetric distributions of returns, as developed in the author's prior work, is specialized to the case of returns drawn from a multivariate Laplace distribution. This analysis delivers a result closely, but not perfectly, consistent with the conjecture presented in the author's article Thinking Differently About Asset Allocation. The principal differences are due to the introduction of a term in the dimensionality of the problem, which was omitted from the conjectured solution, and a rescaling of the variance due to varying parameterizations of the univariate Laplace distribution.

Forecasting VaR and ES using a joint quantile regression and implications in portfolio allocation
In this paper we propose a multivariate quantile regression framework to forecast Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) of multiple financial assets simultaneously, extending Taylor (2019). We generalize the Mu…

We study the problem of utility maximization from terminal wealth in which an agent optimally builds her portfolio by investing in a bond and a risky asset. The asset price dynamics follow a diffusion process with regime…
