Multistage portfolio optimization with stocks and options. (English) Zbl 1342.91038
Summary: We develop a multistage portfolio optimization model that utilizes options for mitigating market risk in a dynamic setting. Due to the key role of scenarios in the quality of investment decisions, a new scenario generation method is proposed that characterizes the dynamic behavior of asset returns. This methodology takes the dependence structure of different asset returns into account, and also considers serial correlations of each of the asset returns. Moreover, it preserves marginal distributions of asset returns. Also, it precludes arbitrage opportunities. To investigate the role of options, we implement the scenario generation method on a set of stocks selected from the New York Stock Exchange. Results show the high performance of the proposed scenario generation method. Afterwards, the generated set of scenarios is used as the uncertainty set for the multistage portfolio optimization model. Static and dynamic assessments are used for measuring the performance of options in mitigating market risks and generating additional returns. Finally, backtesting simulations are used for assessing different trading strategies of options.
