Model-free portfolio allocation in continuous-time
We present a non-probabilistic, path-by-path framework for studying path-dependent (i.e., where weight is a functional of time and historical time-series), long-only portfolio allocation in continuous-time based on [Chiu & Cont '23], where the fundamental concept of self-financing was introduced, independent of any integration theory. In this article, we extend this concept to a portfolio allocation strategy and characterize it by a path-dependent partial differential equation. We derive the general explicit solution that describes the evolution of wealth in generic markets, including price paths that may not evolve continuously or exhibit variation of any order. Explicit solution examples are provided. As an application of our continuous-time, path-dependent framework, we extend an aggregating algorithm of [Vovk '90] and the universal algorithm of [Cover '91] to continuous-time algorithms that combine multiple strategies into a single strategy. These continuous-time (meta) algorithms take multiple strategies as input (which may themselves be generated by other algorithms) and track the wealth generated by the best individual strategy and the best convex combination of strategies, with tracking error bounds in log wealth of order O(1) and O(ln t), respectively. This work extends Cover's theorem [Cover '91, Thm 6.1] to a continuous-time, model-free setting.

A dynamic conditional approach to portfolio weights forecasting
We build the time series of optimal realized portfolio weights from high-frequency data and we suggest a novel Dynamic Conditional Weights (DCW) model for their dynamics. DCW is benchmarked against popular model-based an…

This paper solves the dynamic portfolio choice problem. Using an explicit solution with a power utility, we construct a bridge between a continuous and discrete VAR model to assess portfolio sensitivities. We find, from …

This paper studies a variation of the continuous-time mean-variance portfolio selection where a tracking-error penalization is added to the mean-variance criterion. The tracking error term penalizes the distance between …
Large scale continuous-time mean-variance portfolio allocation via reinforcement learning
We propose to solve large scale Markowitz mean-variance (MV) portfolio allocation problem using reinforcement learning (RL). By adopting the recently developed continuous-time exploratory control framework, we formulate …
