Definitions
- the invention relates generally to the field of financial advisory services. More particularly, the invention relates to a portfolio optimization process that diversifies model risk by favoring a more diversified portfolio over other portfolios with similar characteristics.
- N a set of N financial products
- existing computer financial analysis systems also referred to as "portfolio optimizers”
- These systems typically implement mathematical models based upon standard optimization techniques involving mean-variance optimization theory.
- an optimal portfolio of financial products may be identified with reference to an investor's preference for various combinations of risk and return and the set of efficient portfolios (also referred to as the efficient set or the efficient frontier).
- Figure 1 illustrates a feasible set of portfolios that represents all the portfolios that maybe formed from a particular set of financial products.
- the arc AC represents an efficient set of portfolios that each provide the highest expected return for a given level of risk.
- a portfolio's risk is typically measured by the standard deviation of returns.
- any efficient portfolio e.g., portfolio B and portfolio E. Since statistical estimates of expected returns and risk are used to calculate efficient portfolios, the calculated efficient set could deviate from the true efficient set.
- portfolios in an error space surrounding an optimal portfolio are virtually indistinguishable.
- model risk what is meant is the uncertainty/risk in the mathematical models employed and errors that may be introduced when estimating the properties of the financial products based upon historical data which may contain inaccuracies, such as statistical noise or measurement error, for example.
- An example of a problem induced by measurement error is the potential for highly concentrated estimated efficient portfolios. For instance, consider an asset that has a large positive error in its expected return estimate. Efficient portfolios constructed ignoring the possibility of this large positive error may yield portfolios with highly concentrated positions in this asset.
- a portfolio optimization process that diversifies model risk by favoring a more diversified portfolio over other portfolios with similar characteristics is described.
- the present invention involves determining an initial portfolio, performing diversification processing to identify one or more alternative portfolios having increased diversification, and selecting a recommended portfolio from the initial portfolio or the one or more alternative portfolios based upon a set of one or more criteria.
- a more diverse portfolio may be selected over an initial portfolio in order to diversify model risk with reference to a predetermined diversity budget.
- An initial portfolio of financial products is determined from an available set of financial products.
- One or more dimensions of an error space are searched for an alternate portfolio that is more diverse than the initial portfolio.
- a cost associated with the alternate portfolio is then calculated by comparing the difference between a characteristic of the initial portfolio and a corresponding characteristic of the alternate portfolio.
- the alternate portfolio is selected as the recommended portfolio if the cost is less than or equal to the predetermined diversity budget.
- an intelligent search is performed for a diverse portfolio that meets a predetermined diversity budget.
- An initial portfolio is determined based upon an available set of financial products.
- the cost associated with more diversified portfolios compared to the initial portfolio is considered and one of the more diversified portfolios is selected that has an associated cost that is less than or equal to the predetermined diversity budget.
- Figure 1 illustrates a feasible set of portfolios that can be formed from a set of financial products.
- Figure 2 illustrates a financial advisory system according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 3 is an example of a computer system upon which one embodiment of the present invention may be implemented.
- Figure 4 is a simplified block diagram illustrating one embodiment of a financial analysis system that may employ the diversification mechanism of the present invention.

- Figure 7 is a flow diagram illustrating diversification processing according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 8 is a flow diagram illustrating the generation of a more diverse portfolio according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 9A illustrates an initially identified optimal portfolio.
- Figure 9B illustrates the effect of a maximum exposure constraint on the portfolio of Figure 9 A.
- Figure 9C illustrates a diversified portfolio after one or more stopping conditions have been achieved.
- Figure 10 conceptually illustrates an approach for quickly finding a diversified portfolio that meets the diversity budget according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- a mechanism for diversifying model risk is described for diversifying model risk. Such uncertainty/risk is inherent in the mathematical models and the historical data employed by portfolio optimizers, for example.
- the diversification mechanism described herein may efficiently search an error space proximate to an initially identified optimal portfolio for alternative portfolios that are more diverse than the initial portfolio and that are not too costly to implement in terms of differences in expected returns, risk and/or utility.
- various characteristics of the initial portfolio may be used as a baseline by a diversification process to measure the cost of implementing more diverse portfolios having very similar expected return, risk, and/or utility characteristics as the initial portfolio.
- the more diverse portfolios may be located by searching various dimensions of an error space that is proximate to the initial portfolio.
- the more diverse portfolios may be selected from a group of portfolios that have approximately the same level of risk and slightly lower expected returns than the initial portfolio or from a group of portfolios that have approximately the same expected returns but have a higher level of risk than the initial portfolio.
- the diversification process favors more diverse portfolios over other portfolios with similar expected return characteristics by allocating a predetermined cost (referred to as the diversity budget) that can be spent in pursuit of diversity. In this manner, of the portfolios that are evaluated in a predefined error space, the most diverse portfolio that stays within the diversity budget will be selected.
- other stopping conditions may also be employed to terminate the diversity processing.
- the search for a more diverse portfolio than the current portfolio may stop when, among other things: (1) maintaining certain desirable characteristics of the initial portfolio constant is no longer feasible; (2) the number of financial products in the current portfolio exceeds a predetermined number of financial products; and/or (3) a certain number of iterations have been performed and/or a certain number of alternate portfolios have been considered.
- the present invention includes various steps, which will be described below.
- the steps of the present invention may be embodied in machine-executable instructions.
- the instructions can be used to cause a general-purpose or special-purpose processor which is programmed with the instructions to perform the steps of the present invention.

- EXEMPLARY FINANCIAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM Figure 4 is a simplified block diagram illustrating a financial analysis system 400 in which one embodiment of the present invention may be used.
- the financial advisory system 400 includes a simulation module 440, a portfolio optimization module 456, and a user interface (UI) 460.
- the UI 460 may include various mechanisms for data input and output to provide the user with a means of interacting with and receiving feedback from the financial advisory system 400, respectively.
- Both the simulation module 440 and the portfolio optimization module may receive input data from the user . interface (UI) 460 and provide data, such as financial products' exposures to various factors, probability distributions, and recommended portfolios of financial products, to the UI 460.
- the simulation module 440 may include a simulation engine for empirically generating draws from a random distribution. According to the embodiment depicted, the simulation module 440 further includes a pricing module 410, a factor module 420, and a style analysis module 430.
- the pricing module 410 may generate pricing data for one or more assets.
- pricing module 410 generates pricing data for three assets (e.g., short-term bonds, long-term bonds and U.S. equities). These assets are used as core assets by simulation module 440 for simulation functions.
- the core assets may be different types of assets, such as U.S. equities and bonds (making no distinction between short-term and long-term bonds).
- a different number of core assets may also be used.
- pricing module 410 generates a number of asset scenarios. Each scenario is an equally likely outcome based on the inputs to financial advisory system 400. By generating a number of scenarios with pricing module 410, financial advisory system 400 may generate statistics for different projected asset valuations. For example, financial advisory system 400 may provide probability distributions for each projected asset valuation.
- Factor module 420 receives core asset pricing data from pricing module 410 and maps the data onto a set of factors. Factors output by factor module 420 are used by returns-based style analysis module 430 to generate style exposures for particular assets. Factor modules and style analysis are well known in the art and are not described in greater detail herein. Factor module 420 and style analysis module 430 may perform the functions as described in "Asset allocation: Management style and performance measurement," by William F. Sharpe, lournal of Portfolio Management, Vol. 18, No. 2, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
- the portfolio optimization module 456 may determine optimal portfolios based on input provided to financial advisory system 400 via UI 460.
- the portfolio optimization module 456 further comprises a diversification module 455 and an optimization module 450.
- the optimization module 450 calculates the utility maximizing set of financial products under a set of constraints defined by the user and the available feasible investment set. In one embodiment, the calculation is based upon a mean-variance optimization of the financial products.
- the diversification module 455 manages diversification processing and evaluates the cost of performing diversification.
- the diversification module 455 may cause the optimization module 450 to perform several iterations of optimization processing with various constraints, such as a maximum exposure to any individual financial product and/or a minimum exposure to any individual financial product.
- the diversity budget is set to an appropriate default level. The appropriate default level may be determined by tuning a parameter utilized the financial analysis system until satisfactory results are achieved, for example.
- the user may provide a preference for diversification via the UI 460, which may in turn be used to determine the diversity budget.
- a diversity budget typically from 0 basis points to 16 basis points may be allocated, for example, corresponding to a preference for no diversity and a high preference for diversity, respectively.
- the decision to pursue more diversity in a portfolio by the diversification module 455 is made after explicitly considering cost of such diversity, in terms of its effect on expected return, risk, and/or utility, for example.
- the portfolio optimization module 456 may execute on a server or on the same computer upon which the UI 460 resides.
- portfolio optimization is the process of determining a set of financial products that maximizes the utility function of a user.
- portfolio optimization processing assumes that users have a mean-variant utility function, namely, that people like having more expected wealth and dislike volatility of wealth. Based on this assumption, given a user's risk tolerance, the portfolio optimization module 456 may calculate an initial mean-variance efficient optimal portfolio from a set of financial products that are available to the user. Depending upon the user' s diversity preference, other more diversified portfolios may then be considered for purposes of diversifying model risk.
- both the optimization problem and the diversification problem are expressed as a series of one or more Quadratic Programming (QP) problems.
- QP Quadratic Programming
- QP is a technique for solving optimization problems involving quadratic (squared terms) objective functions with linear equality and/or inequality constraints.
- an approach referred to as an "active set” method is employed herein. The active set method is explained in Gill, Murray, and
- the diversification problem can be structured as a series of one or more QP problems, then interactive applications, such as software that provides financial advice to individuals, may perform diversification processing in real-time.
- an initial optimal portfolio is determined.
- the optimal portfolio is a mean-variance efficient portfolio which may be determined with reference to user-supplied data regarding his/her desirability for various combinations of risk and return.
- wealth in real dollars may be optimized by maximizing the following mean-variance utility function by determining portfolio proportions (Xi):
- R random return on financial product i x represents the recommended constant proportion of each contribution allocated to financial product i. o ⁇ x, ⁇ UB
- UB Upper bound on maximum exposure n is the number of financial products that are available for optimization.
- step 520 a process for increasing diversification is performed, which is described further below.
- a recommended portfolio is output. DIVERSIFICATION PROCESSING
- FIG. 6 is a flow diagram illustrating diversification processing according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- the diversification processing generally breaks down into an initialization stage, a diversification stage, and an output stage.
- the initialization stage is represented by step 622
- the diversification stage includes steps 624, 626, and 628
- the output stage is represented by step 629.
- the diversification stage performs an efficient search of an error space for a more diversified portfolio that can be implemented without exceeding a predetermined diversity budget.
- the error space is an area proximate to or surrounding the initial candidate portfolio and having boundaries defined in terms of expected return, risk, and/or utility, for example.
- the candidate portfolio is initialized to the efficient portfolio that was identified in step 510.
- a portfolio that is more diversified than the current candidate portfolio is generated.
- Various approaches for intelligently identifying a more diverse portfolio than the candidate portfolio are described below.
- step 626 it is determined whether of not the cost of implementing the more diversified portfolio is within the diversity budget. If so, then processing continues with step 628; otherwise processing continues with step 629.
- the candidate portfolio is updated with the more diversified portfolio and processing continues with step 624. In this manner, the most diversified portfolio within the cost constraints defined by the diversity budget may be identified.
- the current candidate portfolio is output as the recommended portfolio.
- one goal of diversification processing is to limit the diversification problem in an intelligent manner. Cost was illustrated above as an exemplary boundary that may act as a stopping condition for diversification processing. As will be explained with reference to Figure 7, various other conditions may be used to terminate the diversification processing.
- Figure 7 is a flow diagram illustrating diversification processing according to another embodiment of the present invention.
- the candidate portfolio is initialized to the efficient portfolio that was identified in step 510.
- a portfolio that is more diversified than the current candidate portfolio is generated.
- the prior candidate portfolio is set to the current candidate portfolio and the current candidate portfolio is set to the more diversified portfolio and processing continues with step 728. In this manner, depending upon the stopping condition either the portfolio evaluated by the current or prior iteration may be returned as the recommended portfolio depending upon the stopping conditions.
- step 728 it is determined whether of not one or more stopping conditions has been achieved. If not, then processing continues with step 724; otherwise processing continues with step 729. According to one embodiment, one or more of the following stopping conditions may be used to terminate the diversification processing:
- either the current candidate portfolio or the prior candidate portfolio is output as the recommended portfolio depending upon the stopping conditions. For example, if the diversity budget has been exceeded by the current candidate portfolio, then the recommended portfolio is set to the last candidate that remained within the diversity budget (e.g., the prior candidate portfolio, in this example). However, if a stopping condition other than diversity budget caused the processing to terminate, then the recommended portfolio may be set to the current candidate portfolio. For example, if the condition causing the diversity processing to terminate was the number of iterations, then the recommended portfolio is set to the current portfolio.
- FIG. 8 is a flow diagram illustrating the generation of a more diverse portfolio (e.g., steps 624 and 724) according to one embodiment of the present invention. According to the embodiment depicted, diversification is achieved by evaluating additional alternative optimal portfolios, using Equation #1 and #2, for example, under various constraints. At step 810, a maximum exposure is selected.
- the maximum exposure (e.g., UB from above) defines the maximum percentage of the portfolio's value that may be held in any particular financial product for a particular diversification iteration.
- any of a number of approaches may be employed to select the maximum exposure values for iterations of the diversification processing.
- the relationship between cost and maximum exposures is assumed to be monotonic. For example, it may be assumed the cost of implementing an efficient portfolio constrained to a maximum exposure of 80% is greater than the cost of implementing an efficient portfolio constrained to a maximum exposure of 90%. In this manner, a search approach that iteratively lowers the ceiling (as defined by the maximum exposure) to search for a more diverse portfolio may stop once a candidate portfolio exceeds the diversity budget.
- a binary search algorithm may be employed that makes use of the monotonic relationship to select the maximum exposure for the current iteration.
- optimization processing is performed subject to one or more diversity constraints including the maximum exposure for the current iteration. For example, according to one embodiment, risk is held constant while the maximum exposure constraint is applied. Subsequently, at step 830, one or more characteristics
- Figure 9A illustrates an initially identified optimal portfolio 950.
- Figure 9B illustrates the effect of a maximum exposure constraint on the portfolio of Figure 9A; and
- Figure 9C illustrates a diversified portfolio after one or more stopping conditions have been achieved.
- portfolio 950 financial product 910 represents approximately 90% of the portfolio's total value and financial product 920 represents the remaining 10%.
- a maximum exposure constraint 941 of 75% is imposed upon the optimization process to arrive at a more diverse portfolio 951.
- the cost of implementing portfolio 951 as opposed to portfolio 950 is determined to be within the allocated diversity budget; therefore, another iteration may be performed.
- Figure 9C represents a more diverse portfolio 952 that results from an even more biting maximum exposure constraint 942.
- the cost, in terms of expected return, risk, and/or utility, of implementing portfolio 952 rather than portfolio 950 is greater than the diversity budget.
- the recommended portfolio would be portfolio 951 (the most diverse candidate portfolio that stayed within the diversity budget).
- Figure 10 conceptually illustrates an approach for quickly finding a diversified portfolio employing a binary search approach according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- a maximum exposure 1010 for the first iteration is selected.
- the maximum exposure 1010 for the first iteration is 55% (approximately half way between 100% and a floor 1040 of 10%). If the diversity budget is exceeded in the first iteration, then in the next iteration the maximum exposure value is selected to be between 100% and 55% where the cost is known to be lower.
- the cost of implementing the candidate portfolio identified by the first iteration is less than the diversity budget; therefore, the maximum exposure value for the second iteration 1020 is selected to be approximately half way between the current exposure and the floor 1040. Subsequent iterations continue in this manner by recursively splitting a remaining portion of the maximum exposure range known to meet the budget constraint until one or more stopping conditions are achieved.
- expected return is used as an exemplary measure of the cost of diversification.
- the present invention is broadly applicable to portfolio diversification approaches that use other measurements of cost, such as risk and/or utility.
- the expected return on a portfolio could be held constant, and an efficient search could be performed to find a more diverse portfolio within a certain risk budget.
- diversity may be increased until a given utility budget is exhausted.
- the utility budget may be defined based upon a user specific utility function which maps any arbitrary characteristics of the portfolio onto a utility measure of desirability, for example.
- the optimization problem can be structured to maximize an arbitrary measure of diversity subject to an arbitrary budget.
