  2. Markowitz model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markowitz_model

    For example, at risk level x 2, there are three portfolios S, T, U. But portfolio S is called the efficient portfolio as it has the highest return, y 2 , compared to T and U[needs dot]. All the portfolios that lie on the boundary of PQVW are efficient portfolios for a given risk level.

  3. Kelly criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

    Example of the optimal Kelly betting fraction, versus expected return of other fractional bets. In probability theory, the Kelly criterion (or Kelly strategy or Kelly bet) is a formula for sizing a sequence of bets by maximizing the long-term expected value of the logarithm of wealth, which is equivalent to maximizing the long-term expected geometric growth rate.

  4. Heston model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heston_model

    In finance, the Heston model, named after Steven L. Heston, is a mathematical model that describes the evolution of the volatility of an underlying asset. [1] It is a stochastic volatility model: such a model assumes that the volatility of the asset is not constant, nor even deterministic, but follows a random process.

  5. Modern portfolio theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_portfolio_theory

    In contrast, modern portfolio theory is based on a different axiom, called variance aversion, [27] and may recommend to invest into Y on the basis that it has lower variance. Maccheroni et al. [ 28 ] described choice theory which is the closest possible to the modern portfolio theory, while satisfying monotonicity axiom.

  6. Option on realized variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_on_realized_variance

    In finance, an option on realized variance (or variance option) is a type of variance derivatives which is the derivative securities on which the payoff depends on the annualized realized variance of the return of a specified underlying asset, such as stock index, bond, exchange rate, etc.

  7. Merton's portfolio problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merton's_portfolio_problem

    Merton's portfolio problem is a problem in continuous-time finance and in particular intertemporal portfolio choice.An investor must choose how much to consume and must allocate their wealth between stocks and a risk-free asset so as to maximize expected utility.

  8. Variance swap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance_swap

    the variance strike; the realized variance; the vega notional: Like other swaps, the payoff is determined based on a notional amount that is never exchanged. However, in the case of a variance swap, the notional amount is specified in terms of vega, to convert the payoff into dollar terms. The payoff of a variance swap is given as follows:

  9. Post-modern portfolio theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-modern_portfolio_theory

    In many cases, manager or index rankings will be different, depending on the risk-adjusted measure used. These patterns will change again for different values of t. For example, when t is close to the risk-free rate, the Sortino Ratio for T-Bill's will be higher than that for the S&P 500, while the Sharpe ratio remains unchanged.
