英文摘要:
We estimate the global minimum variance (GMV) portfolio in the high-dimensional case using results from random matrix theory. This approach leads to a shrinkage-type estimator which is distribution-free and it is optimal in the sense of minimizing the out-of-sample variance. Its asymptotic properties are investigated assuming that the number of assets $p$ depends on the sample size $n$ such that $\\frac{p}{n}\\rightarrow c\\in (0,+\\infty)$ as $n$ tends to infinity. The results are obtained under weak assumptions imposed on the distribution of the asset returns, namely it is only required the fourth moments existence. Furthermore, we make no assumption on the upper bound of the spectrum of the covariance matrix. As a result, the theoretical findings are also valid if the dependencies between the asset returns are described by a factor model which appears to be very popular in financial literature nowadays. This is also well-documented in a numerical study where the small- and large-sample behavior of the derived estimator are compared with existing estimators of the GMV portfolio. The resulting estimator shows significant improvements and it turns out to be robust to the deviations from normality.

中文摘要:
我们利用随机矩阵理论的结果估计了高维情况下的全局最小方差(GMV)投资组合。这种方法得到了一个无分布的收缩型估计量,它在最小化样本外方差的意义上是最优的。假设资产数量$p$取决于样本量$n$,使得$frac{p}{n}\\ rightarrow c \\ in(0,+\\infty)$随着$n$趋于无穷大,则研究其渐近性质。结果是在对资产收益率分布的弱假设下得到的,即只需要存在四阶矩。此外,我们对协方差矩阵的谱的上界没有做任何假设。因此,如果资产回报率之间的依赖关系是由一个因子模型描述的,那么理论结果也是有效的,这一模型在当今金融文献中非常流行。这在一项数值研究中也得到了很好的证明,在该研究中,导出估计量的小样本和大样本行为与GMV投资组合的现有估计量进行了比较。结果表明,估计量有了显著的改进,并且对正态性偏差具有鲁棒性。
