英文摘要:
In this paper, we propose $\\ell_p$-norm regularized models to seek near-optimal sparse portfolios. These sparse solutions reduce the complexity of portfolio implementation and management. Theoretical results are established to guarantee the sparsity of the second-order KKT points of the $\\ell_p$-norm regularized models. More interestingly, we present a theory that relates sparsity of the KKT points with Projected correlation and Projected Sharpe ratio. We also design an interior point algorithm to obtain an approximate second-order KKT solution of the $\\ell_p$-norm models in polynomial time with a fixed error tolerance, and then test our $\\ell_p$-norm modes on S&P 500 (2008-2012) data and international market data.\\ The computational results illustrate that the $\\ell_p$-norm regularized models can generate portfolios of any desired sparsity with portfolio variance and portfolio return comparable to those of the unregularized Markowitz model with cardinality constraint. Our analysis of a combined model lead us to conclude that sparsity is not directly related to overfitting at all. Instead, we find that sparsity moderates overfitting only indirectly. A combined $\\ell_1$-$\\ell_p$ model shows that the proper choose of leverage, which is the amount of additional buying-power generated by selling short can mitigate overfitting; A combined $\\ell_2$-$\\ell_p$ model is able to produce extremely high performing portfolios that exceeded the 1/N strategy and all $\\ell_1$ and $\\ell_2$ regularized portfolios.

中文摘要:
在本文中,我们提出了$\\ell_p$范数正则化模型来寻找接近最优的稀疏投资组合。这些稀疏的解决方案降低了项目组合实施和管理的复杂性。建立了保证$\\ell_p$范数正则化模型二阶KKT点稀疏性的理论结果。更有趣的是,我们提出了一个理论,将KKT点的稀疏性和投影相关性和投影夏普比联系起来。我们还设计了一个内点算法,以在多项式时间内获得$\\ell_p$范数模型的近似二阶KKT解,并具有固定的误差容限,然后在标准普尔500(2008-2012)数据和国际市场数据上测试我们的$\\ell_p$范数模型计算结果表明,$\\ell_p$范数正则化模型可以生成任意期望稀疏性的投资组合,其投资组合方差和投资组合收益与带基数约束的非正则化Markowitz模型相当。通过对组合模型的分析,我们得出结论,稀疏性与过度拟合完全没有直接关系。相反,我们发现稀疏性只是间接地缓和了过度拟合。组合的$\\ell_1$-$\\ell_p$模型表明,适当选择杠杆,即卖空产生的额外购买力,可以缓解过度拟合;一个组合的$\\ellu 2$-$\\ellu p$模型能够产生超1/N策略的高绩效投资组合,以及所有$\\ellu 1$和$\\ellu 2$正规化投资组合。
