• Title: Performance Evaluation of Equal-Weight Portfolio and Optimum Risk Portfolio on Indian Stocks
• Authors: Abhiraj Sen and Jaydip Sen
• Abstract summary: Three approaches to portfolio design minimize the risk, optimize the risk, and assigning equal weights to stocks. The portfolios are designed using the historical prices of the stocks from Jan 1, 2017, to Dec 31, 2022. The performances of the portfolios are compared, and the portfolio yielding the higher return for each sector is identified.

• Abstract: Designing an optimum portfolio for allocating suitable weights to its constituent assets so that the return and risk associated with the portfolio are optimized is a computationally hard problem. The seminal work of Markowitz that attempted to solve the problem by estimating the future returns of the stocks is found to perform sub-optimally on real-world stock market data. This is because the estimation task becomes extremely challenging due to the stochastic and volatile nature of stock prices. This work illustrates three approaches to portfolio design minimizing the risk, optimizing the risk, and assigning equal weights to the stocks of a portfolio. Thirteen critical sectors listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India are first chosen. Three portfolios are designed following the above approaches choosing the top ten stocks from each sector based on their free-float market capitalization. The portfolios are designed using the historical prices of the stocks from Jan 1, 2017, to Dec 31, 2022. The portfolios are evaluated on the stock price data from Jan 1, 2022, to Dec 31, 2022. The performances of the portfolios are compared, and the portfolio yielding the higher return for each sector is identified.

  This chapter presents a comparative study of the three portfolio optimization methods, MVP, HRP, and HERC, on the Indian stock market. The top stocks of each cluster are identified based on their free-float market capitalization from the report of the NSE published on July 1, 2022. For each sector, three portfolios are designed on stock prices from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2022, following three portfolio optimization approaches.

  This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on neural networks to take advantage of these investment products. A deep neural network, which outputs the allocation weight of each asset at a time interval, is trained to maximize the Sharpe ratio. A novel loss term is proposed to regulate the network's bias towards a specific asset, thus enforcing the network to learn an allocation strategy that is close to a minimum variance strategy.

  Multi-step stock price prediction over a long-term horizon is crucial for forecasting its volatility. Current solutions to multi-step stock price prediction are mostly designed for single-step, classification-based predictions. We combine a deep hierarchical variational-autoencoder (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic techniques to do seq2seq stock prediction. Our model is shown to outperform state-of-the-art solutions in terms of its prediction accuracy and variance.

  This chapter presents a comparative study of three portfolio design approaches, the mean-variance portfolio (MVP), hierarchical risk parity (HRP)-based portfolio, and autoencoder-based portfolio. The portfolios are designed using the stock price data from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021, and their performances are tested on the out-of-sample data from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. It is observed that the performance of the MVP portfolio is the best on the out-of-sample data for the risk-adjusted returns.
