By exploiting a bipartite network representation of the relationships between mutual funds and portfolio holdings, we propose an indicator that we derive from the analysis of the network, labelled the Average Commonality Coefficient (ACC), which measures how frequently the assets in the fund portfolio are present in the portfolios of the other funds of the market. This indicator reflects the investment behavior of funds managers as a function of the popularity of the assets they held. We show that $ACC$ provides useful information to discriminate between funds investing in niche markets and those investing in more popular assets. More importantly, we find that $ACC$ is able to provide indication on the performance of the funds. In particular, we find that funds investing in less popular assets generally outperform those investing in more popular financial instruments, even when correcting for standard factors. Moreover, funds with a low $ACC$ have been less affected by the 2007-08 global financial crisis, likely because less exposed to fire sales spillovers.

We study the continuous time portfolio optimization model on the market where the mean returns of individual securities or asset categories are linearly dependent on underlying economic factors. We introduce the functional $Q_gamma$ featuring the exp ected earnings yield of portfolio minus a penalty term proportional with a coefficient $gamma$ to the variance when we keep the value of the factor levels fixed. The coefficient $gamma$ plays the role of a risk-aversion parameter. We find the optimal trading positions that can be obtained as the solution to a maximization problem for $Q_gamma$ at any moment of time. The single-factor case is analyzed in more details. We present a simple asset allocation example featuring an interest rate which affects a stock index and also serves as a second investment opportunity. We consider two possibilities: the interest rate for the bank account is governed by Vasicek-type and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross dynamics, respectively. Then we compare our results with the theory of Bielecki and Pliska where the authors employ the methods of the risk-sensitive control theory thereby using an infinite horizon objective featuring the long run expected growth rate, the asymptotic variance, and a risk-aversion parameter similar to $gamma$.

This paper studies an optimal investment and consumption problem with heterogeneous consumption of basic and luxury goods, together with the choice of time for retirement. The utility for luxury goods is not necessarily a concave function. The optima l heterogeneous consumption strategies for a class of non-homothetic utility maximizer are shown to consume only basic goods when the wealth is small, to consume basic goods and make savings when the wealth is intermediate, and to consume small portion in basic goods and large portion in luxury goods when the wealth is large. The optimal retirement policy is shown to be both universal, in the sense that all individuals should retire at the same level of marginal utility that is determined only by income, labor cost, discount factor as well as market parameters, and not universal, in the sense that all individuals can achieve the same marginal utility with different utility and wealth. It is also shown that individuals prefer to retire as time goes by if the marginal labor cost increases faster than that of income. The main tools used in analysing the problem are from PDE and stochastic control theory including viscosity solution, variational inequality and dual transformation.
This paper considers a life-time consumption-investment problem under the Black-Scholes framework, where the investors consumption rate is subject to a lower bound constraint that linearly depends on the investors wealth. Due to the state-dependent c ontrol constraint, the standard stochastic control theory cannot be directly applied to our problem. We overcome this obstacle by examining an equivalent problem that does not impose state-dependent control constraint. It is shown that the value function is a third-order continuously differentiable function by using differential equation approaches. The feedback form optimal consumption and investment strategies are given. According to our findings, if the investor is more concerned with long-term consumption than short-term consumption, then she should, regardless of her financial condition, always consume as few as possible; otherwise, her optimal consumption strategy is state-dependent: consuming optimally when her financial condition is good, and consuming at the lowest possible rate when her financial situation is bad.
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.
We implement momentum strategies using reward-risk measures as ranking criteria based on classical tempered stable distribution. Performances and risk characteristics for the alternative portfolios are obtained in various asset classes and markets. T he reward-risk momentum strategies with lower volatility levels outperform the traditional momentum strategy regardless of asset class and market. Additionally, the alternative portfolios are not only less riskier in risk measures such as VaR, CVaR and maximum drawdown but also characterized by thinner downside tails. Similar patterns in performance and risk profile are also found at the level of each ranking basket in the reward-risk portfolios. Higher factor-neutral returns achieved by the reward-risk momentum strategies are statistically significant and large portions of the performances are not explained by the Carhart four-factor model.
