Description:
Mean-variance portfolio analysis provided the first quantitative treatment of the tradeoff between profit and risk. We investigate in detail the interplay between objective and constraints in a number of single-period variants, including semi-variance models. Particular emphasis is laid on avoiding the penalization of overperformance. The results are then used as building blocks in the development and theoretical analysis of multi-period models based on scenario trees. A key property is the possibility to remove surplus money in future decisions, yielding approximate downside risk minimization.
