Tails; Black Swans and Optimal Portfolios

16 Jun 2022

About the event

Why are optimal portfolios; according to the Modern Portfolio Theory; not diversified? Is it a good thing; that they are not? Do simple trading rules-of-thumb beat Modern Portfolio Theory? Which rules-of-thumb? And why do they even work? These are some of the topics that will be covered in this talk. We’ll start by going through the construction of optimal portfolio shapes for different tail risk measures; and we’ll look for some general insights into what works; why it works; what doesn’t work; and why it doesn’t work. Should you hedge; should you diversify; or a bit of both?
