ABSTRACT
We propose a feasible selection method of market window size for four state-of-the-art portfolio strategies. Market window size is a common parameter in the machine learning strategy for portfolio selection. However, in previous researches, the selection of market window size often lacks the guidance of scientific theories. In this paper, we analyze the sensitivity of market window size for four strategies on six benchmark data sets respectively. We study the distribution rule of the best market window sizes, which bring the peak total wealth, and then present the market window size selection method that is effective whether there is ample history data or not. What's more, to appraise the result of our method, we divide the benchmark data sets into two parts. We select the appropriate window size in the first part by our method, while the second part is used to test. By comparing with the wealth achieved in the second part using original method, we find that our selection method can effectively optimize the final results.

Systemic Risk-Driven Portfolio Selection
How can we construct portfolios that perform well in the face of systemic events? The global financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic have highlighted the importance of accounting for extreme form of risks. In “Systemic Risk-...
We consider an investor who trades off tail risk and expected growth of the investment. We measure tail risk through the portfolio’s expected losses conditioned on the occurrence of a systemic event: financial market loss being exactly at, or at least at, ...
Optimal Leveraged Portfolio Selection Under Quasi-Elastic Market Impact
Dangers of Ignoring Market Friction When Leveraging Financial Portfolios
Portfolio leveraging is a standard industry practice to target higher fund returns, for example, in risk parity asset allocation. However, the existing models of optimal bet sizing ...
We study optimal portfolio choice under leveraging to improve portfolio performance when trade execution faces market impact. We consider a quasi-elastic market with continuous trading in which temporary liquidity costs are sufficiently large relative to ...
Market Crashes, Correlated Illiquidity, and Portfolio Choice
The recent financial crisis highlights the importance of market crashes and the subsequent market illiquidity for optimal portfolio selection. We propose a tractable and flexible portfolio choice model where market crashes can trigger switching into ...
