  1. 16. Portfolio Optimization Problems with Transaction Costs

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Stina Gustavsson; Linnéa Gyllberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Portfolio optimization; variable transaction costs; fixed transaction costs;

    Abstract : Portfolio theory is a cornerstone of modern finance, and it is based on the idea that an investor can reduce risk by diversifying their investments across various assets. In practice, Harry Markowitz mean-variance optimization theory is expanded upon by taking into account variable and fixed transaction cost, making the model slightly more reliable. READ MORE

  3. 17. Modelling Risk in Real-Life Multi-Asset Portfolios

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Karin Hahn; Axel Backlund; [2023]
    Keywords : Risk modelling; multi-asset portfolios; risk factor models; time series analysis; regression; Riskmodellering; finansiella portföljer; riskfaktormodeller; tidsserieanalys; regression;

    Abstract : We develop a risk factor model based on data from a large number of portfolios spanning multiple asset classes. The risk factors are selected based on economic theory through an analysis of the asset holdings, as well as statistical tests. READ MORE

  4. 18. Optimal Portfolio Re-Balancing on Fixed Periods using a Cost/Risk Adaptation Model and Stochastic Optimization.

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Produktionsekonomi

    Author : Max Ehn; Marcus Jämte; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimal portfolio re-balancing; optimal liquidation; minimize transaction costs; trading-volume estimation; stochastic optimization; Financial mathematics; tracking error; execution strategies; opportunity costs; liquidation costs; applied mathematics; PRIIP regulation; Swing-pricing;

    Abstract : In this thesis we investigate the problem of portfolio re-balancing for fixed periods using a cost/risk adaptation model and stochastic optimization. The cost/risk adaptation model takes theory of optimal liquidity costs and risk preference to build a universe in which we try to find better strategies than conventional ones. READ MORE

  5. 19. Dynamic Covariance Modelling Using Generalised Wishart Processes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Fredrik Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Covariance matrix; generalised Wishart process; Bayesian inference; Markov chain Monte Carlo; Hamiltonian Monte Carlo; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Modern portfolio theory was pioneered by Markowitz who formulated the mean-variance problem, without which any discussion on quantitative approaches to portfolio selection would be incomplete. The framework boils down to finding the expected return $\mu$ and covariance $\Sigma$, after which the solution is proportional to $\Sigma^{-1}\mu$. READ MORE

  6. 20. Investigating the Formulation and Implementation of Strategy Through Project Selection in the Swedish Process Industry

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola

    Author : Lars Hanses; Albin Tärnåsen; [2023]
    Keywords : Strategy implementation; strategy formulation; project selection; process industry;

    Abstract : Corporate strategies have a low success rate and strategic objectives are frequently not met. To gain insight into this phenomenon, this research explores the process of generating and implementing strategy through CAPEX projects within the mature Swedish process industry. READ MORE
