Optimal Liquidation Strategies Regularize Portfolio Selection

چکیده
We consider the problem of portfolio optimization in the presence of market impact, and derive optimal liquidation strategies. We discuss in detail the problem of finding the optimal portfolio under Expected Shortfall (ES) in the case of linear market impact. We show that, once market impact is taken into account, a regularized version of the usual optimization problem naturally emerges. We characterize the typical behavior of the optimal liquidation strategies, in the limit of large portfolio sizes, and show how the market impact removes the instability of ES in this context. 1 ar X iv :1 00 4. 41 69 v1 [ qfi n.

Optimal liquidation in dark pools
We consider a large trader seeking to liquidate a portfolio using both a transparent trading venue and a dark pool. Our model captures the price impact of trading in transparent traditional venues as well as the execution uncertainty of trading in a dark pool. The unique optimal execution strategy uses both venues continuously. The order size in the dark pool can overor underrepresent the portf...
متن کاملNumerical methods for an optimal order execution problem
This paper deals with numerical solutions to an impulse control problem arising from optimal portfolio liquidation with bid-ask spread and market price impact penalizing speedy execution trades. The corresponding dynamic programming (DP) equation is a quasi-variational inequality (QVI) with solvency constraint satisfied by the value function in the sense of constrained viscosity solutions. By t...
متن کاملOptimal Execution with Nonlinear Impact Functions and Trading-Enhanced Risk
We determine optimal trading strategies for liquidation of a large single-asset portfolio to minimize a combination of volatility risk and market impact costs. We take the market impact cost per share to be a power law function of the trading rate, with an arbitrary positive exponent. This includes, for example, the square-root law that has been proposed based on market microstructure theory. I...
متن کاملOptimal Portfolio Liquidation with Execution Cost and Risk
We study the optimal portfolio liquidation problem over a finite horizon in a limit order book with bid-ask spread and temporary market price impact penalizing speedy execution trades. We use a continuous-time modeling framework, but in contrast with previous related papers (see e.g. [28] and [29]), we do not assume continuous-time trading strategies. We consider instead real trading that occur...
متن کاملOptimal Execution of Portfolio Transactions∗
We consider the execution of portfolio transactions with the aim of minimizing a combination of volatility risk and transaction costs arising from permanent and temporary market impact. For a simple linear cost model, we explicitly construct the efficient frontier in the space of time-dependent liquidation strategies, which have minimum expected cost for a given level of uncertainty. We may the...
