2 Europe Jourl of Fice d Bkig Reserch Vol.. No Ali Argu Krcbey I. INRODUCION Mrkowiz s legedry sudy of porfolio opimizio is regrded s he pioeerig work of moder porfolio heory. I he Mrkowiz model, risk is sed i erms of he prediced vrice of porfolio reur, fucio h is qudric i he decisio vribles. All oher fucios d cosris re ssumed o be lier (Shrpe, 97). he obecive of he model is o form he efficie porfolios. Corry o is heoreicl repuio, i hs o bee used eesively. he wo impor resos why Mrkowiz s model hs o bee implemeed c be summrized s follows (Elo, Gruber, Pdberg, 976; Koo d Ymzki, 99): (i) he difficuly i esimig he correlio mrices, (ii) he compuiol difficuly of he qudric progrmmig model. Shrpe (97) climed h if he essece of porfolio lysis problem could be dequely cpured i form suible for lier progrmmig mehods, he prospec for prcicl pplicio would be grely ehced. Shrpe (97) d Soe (973) ried o cover he porfolio problem io lier progrmmig model. Koo d Ymzki (99) proposed ew porfolio opimizio model s lerive o Mrkowiz s me-vrice model. hey employed L me bsolue deviio s risk mesure ised of vrice, i order o overcome he problem of compuiol difficuly. he MAD model is sid o be vible lerive becuse (i) i does o require he covrice mri of he reurs, d (ii) MAD porfolios hve fewer sses (Sim, 997). I is lso rgued h s he umber of sses decreses, he rscio coss of he porfolio will lso decrese. he MAD porfolio opimizio model hs 2+2 rows where is he umber of periods. Feisei d hp (993) reformuled he MAD porfolio opimizio model so h he umber of rows decresed o +2, which implies h he mimum umber of socks ivesed i decreses from 2+2 o +2. Chg (25) modified Feisei d hp s model so h his model hs fewer vribles d he sme umber of cosris. 2

3 Europe Jourl of Fice d Bkig Reserch Vol.. No Ali Argu Krcbey All of hese opimizio models cosider risk s he deviio of reurs from he epeced or me reur. However, hese models ssume h here is o differece bewee posiive d egive deviio. O he oher hd, for ivesor posiive deviio is desirble, while egive deviio is o. So, i his pper ew model h differeies posiive d egive deviios is proposed. Accordig o his proposed model ivesor simuleously wishes o mimize posiive deviios d miimize egive deviios. II. REVIEW OF HE MEAN VARIANCE AND MAD PORFOLIO OPIMIZAION MODELS Mrkowiz (952) cosiders wo rules while formulig he porfolio opimizio model. Firs, he ivesor does (or should) mimize epeced reurs, d secodly, he ivesor does (or should) cosider epeced reur desirble hig d vrice of reur udesirble hig. he cocep of efficie porfolio hs emerged i ccordce wih hese wo rules. he Mrkowiz porfolio opimizio model employs vrice s he mesure of risk, d he obecive of he model is o fid ou he weighigs of sses h miimizes he vrice of porfolio d esure reur equl o or bigger h he epeced reur. Accordigly he mhemicl model for sses is s follows: Miimize subec o i= = = = r ρm =... Where: σ i = covrice bewee sses i d, = he mou ivesed i sse, r = he epeced reur of sse per period, σ i i () 3

4 Europe Jourl of Fice d Bkig Reserch Vol.. No Ali Argu Krcbey ρ = prmeer represeig he miiml re of reur required by ivesor, M = ol mou of he fud, d u = mimum mou of moey which c be ivesed i sse. Koo d Ymzki (99) iroduced he L risk fucio (me bsolue deviio-mad) w () = ER E R ised of = he L 2 risk (vrice) fucio where R is rdom vrible represeig he re of reur per period of he sse. hey proved h hese wo mesures re he sme if (R R ) re mulivrie ormlly disribued. So he Koo-Ymzki MAD porfolio opimizio model becomes s follows: Miimize subec o w() = E = = E[R ] R ρm E = R =... Koo d Ymzki ssumed h he epeced vlue of he rdom vrible c be pproimed by he verge from he d. So: r = E[R ] = r = Where r is he relizio of rdom vrible R durig period (where = ). hus, w() is pproimed by = = (r r ). Deoig =r -r (= d = ), model (2) c be epressed s follows. (2) 4

Miimize subec o = y y y = - = + r = = ρm =... =... =... Accordig o Koo d Ymzki he MAD porfolio opimizio model s dvges over he Mrkowiz s model re (i) his model does o use he covrice mri which herefore does o eed o be clculed, (ii) solvig his lier model is much esier h solvig qudric model, (iii) he mimum umber of sses h re ivesed i is 2+2 (if u = ) while Mrkowiz s model my coi s my s sses, d (iv) c be used s corol vrible o resric he umber of sses. Feisei d hp (993) modified he MAD porfolio opimizio model d proposed ew model h is equivle o Koo d Ymzki s bu hs limi of +2 o he umber of ozero sses i he opiml porfolio o he ssumpio h here is o upper limi o he ivesme u = - i sse.

Accordig o Koo d Ymzki his mes h he opiml porfolio produced by (7) should hve lower rscio coss compred wih he opiml porfolio obied by model (4). Chg (25) reformule Feisei d hp s model by iroducig coiuous vrible d ; 6

So he CPU ime d he umber of ierios eeded o fid he opiml soluio re decresed. III. PROPOSED OPIMIZAION MODEL Mrkowiz s me vrice model d he me bsolue deviio models regrd risk i erms of deviios h my be eiher posiive (upwrd) or egive (dowwrd) i relio o he epeced reur. I oher words boh of he models pelize o oly he egive (dowwrd) deviios bu lso he posiive (upwrd) deviios. However, he differece bewee egive d posiive deviios is crucil. Negive deviio is regrded s udesirble for mos ivesors while, posiive deviio is desirble. Followig he work of Mrkowiz (959), i which he proposed h semivrice replce vrice s he mesure of risk, dowside risk hs bee he subec of umerous sudies [Grooveld d Hllebch (999), Michlowski d Ogryczk (2)]. he geerl coclusio cocerig dowside risk is h he lef-hd side of reur disribuio ivolves risk while he righ-hd side cois he beer ivesme opporuiies Grooveld d Hllebch (999). 7

8 Europe Jourl of Fice d Bkig Reserch Vol.. No Ali Argu Krcbey Some of hese sudies proposed porfolio opimizio models which employ dowside risk s he mesure of risk. A porfolio opimizio model which icorpores dowside risk s he mesure of risk oly pelizes dowside deviios bu does o ke upside deviios io cosiderio. hese models re similr o he me vrice or MAD models s ll of hem shre he obecive of miimizig risk, he lef-hd side of reur disribuio. Perhps he mos impor deficiecy of hese models is h hey do o ke io cosiderio he beer ivesme opporuiies, he righ hd side of reur disribuio. I his pper ew model h kes io cosiderio boh risk d beer ivesme opporuiies re proposed. he differece bewee he proposed model d he oher porfolio opimizio models is heir obecives. he proposed model ssumes h ivesor ws o choose porfolio wih higher upside deviios d lower dowside deviios. I oher words he/she hs wo simuleous obecives. Firs he/she ws o mimize upside deviios d secod ws o miimize dowside deviios. hese wo obecives c be merged d resed s he sigle obecive of mimizig he differece bewee he upside d dowside deviios. For securiies (= ) durig periods (= ) he dowside risk (NMAD) d beer ivesme opporuiies (PMAD) c be show i his wy: NMAD = N = mi [, r -r ] (9) PMAD = P = m [, r -r ] () Accordig o hese defiiios, he obecive of he proposed model c be sed s follows: Mimize subec o = = = r = P. ρm - = = N. =... () 8

9 Europe Jourl of Fice d Bkig Reserch Vol.. No Ali Argu Krcbey his model is similr o model (2) if we ssume h = P. / = Y d = Mimize = subec o Y = = = P = _ N r N. / = Z. = Z _ Y _ Z ρm = = =... =... =... (2) his ew model hs 2+ vribles d 2+2 cosris. As cosequece of developmes i compuer echology, he umber of vribles d cosris re o loger crucil problem. Bu his ew model differs from oher porfolio opimizio models sice i cosiders risk i erms of egive deviios from he me d lso kes he beer ivesme opporuiies io cosiderio. Accordig o oher opimizio models, he securiy wih he lowes deviio mog securiies wih he sme reur is regrded s he mos desirble wheres his model regrds securiy which hs higher posiive d lower egive deviios s more desirble. I oher words, his ew model ries o fid equilibrium poi bewee risk d beer ivesme opporuiies. III.
