Abstract: | The probability decay rate is proposed here as a new portfolio "performance index". In the widely analyzed special case in which returns are normally distributed, the new performance-index-maximizing portfolio is the same as the popular Sharpe-ratio-maximizing portfolio. The results of the two approaches generally differ, however, because of nonnormal levels of skewness and/or kurtosis in the portfolio attributable to large asymmetrial economic shocks or investments in options and other derivative securities. |
