RACORN-K: Risk-Aversion Pattern Matching-based Portfolio Selection
Portfolio selection is the central task for assets management, but it turns out to be very challenging. Methods based on pattern matching, particularly the CORN-K algorithm, have achieved promising performance on several stock markets. A key shortage of the existing pattern matching methods, however, is that the risk is largely ignored when optimizing portfolios, which may lead to unreliable profits, particularly in volatile markets. We present a risk-aversion CORN-K algorithm, RACORN-K, that penalizes risk when searching for optimal portfolios. Experiments on four datasets (DJIA, MSCI, SP500(N), HSI) demonstrate that the new algorithm can deliver notable and reliable improvements in terms of return, Sharp ratio and maximum drawdown, especially on volatile markets.

A Unified Formula of the Optimal Portfolio for Piecewise Hyperbolic Absolute Risk Aversion Utilities
We propose a general family of piecewise hyperbolic absolute risk aversion (PHARA) utilities, including many classic and non-standard utilities as examples. A typical application is the composition of a HARA preference a…
Financial AnalysisManagementRisk Preferences and Efficiency of Household Portfolios
We propose a novel approach to infer investors' risk preferences from their portfolio choices, and then use the implied risk preferences to measure the efficiency of investment portfolios. We analyze a dataset spanning a…
Risk Concentration and the Mean-Expected Shortfall Criterion
Expected Shortfall (ES, also known as CVaR) is the most important coherent risk measure in finance, insurance, risk management, and engineering. Recently, Wang and Zitikis (2021) put forward four economic axioms for port…

We present a method for finding optimal hedging policies for arbitrary initial portfolios and market states. We develop a novel actor-critic algorithm for solving general risk-averse stochastic control problems and use i…
Reinforcement Learning (RL)Expected Utility Maximization and Conditional Value-at-Risk Deviation-based Sharpe Ratio in Dynamic Stochastic Portfolio Optimization
In this paper we investigate the expected terminal utility maximization approach for a dynamic stochastic portfolio optimization problem. We solve it numerically by solving an evolutionary Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equatio…
