Mean-variance portfolio optimization problems often involve separable nonconvex terms, including penalties on capital gains, integer share constraints, and minimum position and trade sizes. We propose a heuristic algorithm for this problem based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). This method allows for solve times in tens to hundreds of milliseconds with around 1000 securities and 100 risk factors. We also obtain a bound on the achievable performance. Our heuristic and bound are both derived from similar results for other optimization problems with a separable objective and affine equality constraints. We discuss a concrete implementation in the case where the separable terms in the objective are piecewise-quadratic, and we demonstrate their effectiveness empirically in realistic tax-aware portfolio construction problems.

Risk control and optimal diversification constitute a major focus in the finance and insurance industries as well as, more or less consciously, in our everyday life. We present a discussion of the characterization of risks and of the optimization of
portfolios that starts from a simple illustrative model and ends by a general functional integral formulation. A major theme is that risk, usually thought one-dimensional in the conventional mean-variance approach, has to be addressed by the full distribution of losses. Furthermore, the time-horizon of the investment is shown to play a major role. We show the importance of accounting for large fluctuations and use the theory of Cramer for large deviations in this context. We first treat a simple model with a single risky asset that examplifies the distinction between the average return and the typical return, the role of large deviations in multiplicative processes, and the different optimal strategies for the investors depending on their size. We then analyze the case of assets whose price variations are distributed according to exponential laws, a situation that is found to describe reasonably well daily price variations. Several portfolio optimization strategies are presented that aim at controlling large risks. We end by extending the standard mean-variance portfolio optimization theory, first within the quasi-Gaussian approximation and then using a general formulation for non-Gaussian correlated assets in terms of the formalism of functional integrals developed in the field theory of critical phenomena.
We investigate the optimal portfolio deleveraging (OPD) problem with permanent and temporary price impacts, where the objective is to maximize equity while meeting a prescribed debt/equity requirement. We take the real situation with cross impact amo
ng different assets into consideration. The resulting problem is, however, a non-convex quadratic program with a quadratic constraint and a box constraint, which is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we first develop a successive convex optimization (SCO) approach for solving the OPD problem and show that the SCO algorithm converges to a KKT point of its transformed problem. Second, we propose an effective global algorithm for the OPD problem, which integrates the SCO method, simple convex relaxation and a branch-and-bound framework, to identify a global optimal solution to the OPD problem within a pre-specified $epsilon$-tolerance. We establish the global convergence of our algorithm and estimate its complexity. We also conduct numerical experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms with both the real data and the randomly generated medium- and large-scale OPD problem instances.
The dynamic portfolio optimization problem in finance frequently requires learning policies that adhere to various constraints, driven by investor preferences and risk. We motivate this problem of finding an allocation policy within a sequential deci
sion making framework and study the effects of: (a) using data collected under previously employed policies, which may be sub-optimal and constraint-violating, and (b) imposing desired constraints while computing near-optimal policies with this data. Our framework relies on solving a minimax objective, where one player evaluates policies via off-policy estimators, and the opponent uses an online learning strategy to control constraint violations. We extensively investigate various choices for off-policy estimation and their corresponding optimization sub-routines, and quantify their impact on computing constraint-aware allocation policies. Our study shows promising results for constructing such policies when back-tested on historical equities data, under various regimes of operation, dimensionality and constraints.
This paper presents a majorized alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) with indefinite proximal terms for solving linearly constrained $2$-block convex composite optimization problems with each block in the objective being the sum of a no
n-smooth convex function and a smooth convex function, i.e., $min_{x in {cal X}, ; y in {cal Y}}{p(x)+f(x) + q(y)+g(y)mid A^* x+B^* y = c}$. By choosing the indefinite proximal terms properly, we establish the global convergence and $O(1/k)$ ergodic iteration-complexity of the proposed method for the step-length $tau in (0, (1+sqrt{5})/2)$. The computational benefit of using indefinite proximal terms within the ADMM framework instead of the current requirement of positive semidefinite ones is also demonstrated numerically. This opens up a new way to improve the practical performance of the ADMM and related methods.
We study the problem of active portfolio management where an investor aims to outperform a benchmark strategys risk profile while not deviating too far from it. Specifically, an investor considers alternative strategies whose terminal wealth lie with
in a Wasserstein ball surrounding a benchmarks -- being distributionally close -- and that have a specified dependence/copula -- tying state-by-state outcomes -- to it. The investor then chooses the alternative strategy that minimises a distortion risk measure of terminal wealth. In a general (complete) market model, we prove that an optimal dynamic strategy exists and provide its characterisation through the notion of isotonic projections. We further propose a simulation approach to calculate the optimal strategys terminal wealth, making our approach applicable to a wide range of market models. Finally, we illustrate how investors with different copula and risk preferences invest and improve upon the benchmark using the Tail Value-at-Risk, inverse S-shaped, and lower- and upper-tail distortion risk measures as examples. We find that investors optimal terminal wealth distribution has larger probability masses in regions that reduce their risk measure relative to the benchmark while preserving the benchmarks structure.
