Deep Learning, Predictability, and Optimal Portfolio Returns
We study dynamic portfolio choice of a long-horizon investor who uses deep learning methods to predict equity returns when forming optimal portfolios. Our results show statistically and economically significant benefits from using deep learning to form optimal portfolios through certainty equivalent returns and Sharpe ratios. We demonstrate that a long-short-term-memory recurrent neural network, which excels in learning complex time-series dependencies, generates a superior performance among a variety of networks considered. Return predictability via deep learning generates substantially improved portfolio performance across different subsamples, particularly during recessionary periods. These gains are robust to including transaction costs, short-selling and borrowing constraints.

Maximizing Portfolio Predictability with Machine Learning
We construct the maximally predictable portfolio (MPP) of stocks using machine learning. Solving for the optimal constrained weights in the multi-asset MPP gives portfolios with a high monthly coefficient of determinatio…
Can optimal diversification beat the naive 1/N strategy in a highly correlated market? Empirical evidence from cryptocurrencies
This study systematically examines how several alternative approaches considered affect three aspects that determine portfolio performance (the gross return, the transaction costs and the portfolio risk). We find that it…
Maximally Machine-Learnable Portfolios
When it comes to stock returns, any form of predictability can bolster risk-adjusted profitability. We develop a collaborative machine learning algorithm that optimizes portfolio weights so that the resulting synthetic s…
Dynamic Factor Model-Based Multiperiod Mean-Variance Portfolio Selection with Portfolio Constraints
Motivated by practical applications, we explore the constrained multi-period mean-variance portfolio selection problem within a market characterized by a dynamic factor model. This model captures predictability in asset …
Networks of News and Cross-Sectional Returns
We uncover networks from news articles to study cross-sectional stock returns. By analyzing a huge dataset of more than 1 million news articles collected from the internet, we construct time-varying directed networks of …
