Asset Allocation

چکیده
This review article describes recent literature on asset allocation, covering both static and dynamic models. The article focuses on the bond–stock decision and on the implications of return predictability. In the static setting, investors are assumed to be Bayesian, and the role of various prior beliefs and specifications of the likelihood are explored. In the dynamic setting, recursive utility is assumed, and attention is paid to obtaining analytical results when possible. Results under both full and limitedinformation assumptions are discussed.

Expected Utility Asset Allocation
Many institutional investors periodically adopt an asset allocation policy that specifies target percentages of value for each of several asset classes. Typically a policy is set by a fund’s board after evaluating the implications of a set of alternative policies. The staff is then instructed to implement the policy, usually by maintaining the actual allocation to each asset class within a spec...
متن کاملAsset Allocation Dynamics and Pension Fund Performance¤
Using a data set on more than 300 UK pension funds' asset holdings, this paper provides a systematic investigation of the performance of managed portfolios across multiple asset classes. We ̄nd evidence of slow mean reversion in the funds' portfolio weights towards a common, time-varying strategic asset allocation. We also ̄nd surprisingly little cross-sectional variation in the average ex post...
متن کاملWhere Experience Matters: Asset Allocation and Asset Pricing with Opaque and Illiquid Assets∗
Alternative assets, such as private equity, hedge funds, and real assets, are illiquid and opaque, and thus pose a challenge to traditional models of asset allocation. In this paper, we study asset allocation and asset pricing in a generalequilibrium model with liquid assets and an alternative risky asset, which is opaque and incurs transaction costs, and investors who differ in their experienc...
متن کاملDynamic Asset Allocation Strategies Using a Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach∗
A major investment decision for individual and institutional investors alike is to choose between different asset classes, i.e., equity investments and interest-bearing investments. The asset allocation decision determines the ultimate risk and return of a portfolio. The asset allocation problem is frequently addressed either through a static analysis, based on Markowitz’ mean-variance model, o...
متن کاملAsset Allocation in Finnish Pension Funds
This paper empirically examines the strategic asset allocation and the asset/liability issues in the Finnish defined benefit pension funds. The results indicate that there is a relationship between the liability structure and the asset allocation. While pension funds with younger participants have more equity exposure, more mature pension funds have more fixed income investments. Wide dispersio...
متن کاملASSET ALLOCATION: MANAGEMENT STYLE AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT An Asset class factor model can help make order out of chaos
Once a procedure for measuring exposures to variations in returns of major asset classes is in place, it is possible to determine how effectively individual fund managers have performed their functions and the extent (if any) to which value has been added through active management. Finally, the effectiveness of the investor's overall asset allocation can be compared with that of one or more ben...
