Online Portfolio Selection

Principles and Algorithms

Beschreibung

With the aim to sequentially determine optimal allocations across a set of assets, Online Portfolio Selection (OLPS) has significantly reshaped the financial investment landscape. Online Portfolio Selection: Principles and Algorithms supplies a comprehensive survey of existing OLPS principles and presents a collection of innovative strategies that leverage machine learning techniques for financial investment.

The book presents four new algorithms based on machine learning techniques that were designed by the authors, as well as a new back-test system they developed for evaluating trading strategy effectiveness. The book uses simulations with real market data to illustrate the trading strategies in action and to provide readers with the confidence to deploy the strategies themselves. The book is presented in five sections that:

Introduce OLPS and formulate OLPS as a sequential decision taskPresent key OLPS principles, including benchmarks, follow the winner,follow the loser, pattern matching, and meta-learningDetail four innovative OLPS algorithms based on cutting-edge machine learning techniquesProvide a toolbox for evaluating the OLPS algorithms and present empirical studies comparing the proposed algorithms with the state of the artInvestigate possible future directions
Complete with a back-test system that uses historical data to evaluate the performance of trading strategies, as well as MATLAB® code for the back-test systems, this book is an ideal resource for graduate students in finance, computer science, and statistics. It is also suitable for researchers and engineers interested in computational investment.

Rezensionen

"Ever since access to financial data, storage capacity, and computing power stopped acting as barriers to entry, institutional-quality asset allocation solutions have become widely available to individual investors and financial advisors. Coupled with easy access to inexpensive building blocks like Exchange-Traded Funds, this dynamic has brought the spectre of digital disruption to the asset management industry. In Online Portfolio Selection, Li and Hoi do an excellent job explaining what's actually under the hood of the "robo-advisor" applications. Unlike many books on related financial technology subjects, they don't leave the reader with only high-level rhetoric on machine learning and financial technology, but instead roll up their sleeves and delve into the nuts and bolts of the various algorithms that power this irreversible trend. A must-read."
-Guy Weyns, PhD., Partner, NGEN Capital, London

"This is an excellent book showing a comprehensive menu of state-of-the-art online machine-learning algorithms in online portfolio selection and trading. It explains clearly how different algorithms can perform based on data-driven patterns that are exploited using intensive computational methods. It is a must-read for serious quantitative traders."
