Machine Learning Portfolio Allocation
We find economically and statistically significant gains when using machine learning for portfolio allocation between the market index and risk-free asset. Optimal portfolio rules for time-varying expected returns and volatility are implemented with two Random Forest models. One model is employed in forecasting the sign probabilities of the excess return with payout yields. The second is used to construct an optimized volatility estimate. Reward-risk timing with machine learning provides substantial improvements over the buy-and-hold in utility, risk-adjusted returns, and maximum drawdowns. This paper presents a new theoretical basis and unifying framework for machine learning applied to both return- and volatility-timing.

Analysis of Optimal Portfolio Management Using Hierarchical Clustering
Portfolio optimization is a task that investors use to determine the best allocations for their investments, and fund managers implement computational models to help guide their decisions. While one of the most common po…

Changes in market conditions present challenges for investors as they cause performance to deviate from the ranges predicted by long-term averages of means and covariances. The aim of conditional asset allocation strateg…
TPLVM: Portfolio Construction by Student's $t$-process Latent Variable Model
Optimal asset allocation is a key topic in modern finance theory. To realize the optimal asset allocation on investor's risk aversion, various portfolio construction methods have been proposed. Recently, the applications…
Tactical Asset Allocation with Macroeconomic Regime Detection
This paper extends the tactical asset allocation literature by incorporating regime modeling using techniques from machine learning. We propose a novel model that classifies current regimes, forecasts the distribution of…
A Meta-Method for Portfolio Management Using Machine Learning for Adaptive Strategy Selection
This work proposes a novel portfolio management technique, the Meta Portfolio Method (MPM), inspired by the successes of meta approaches in the field of bioinformatics and elsewhere. The MPM uses XGBoost to learn how to …
