Abstract: | The authors explain why constraining portfolio weights to be nonnegative can reduce the risk in estimated optimal portfoliosb even when the constraints are wrong. With no-short-sale constraints in place, the sample covariance matrix performs as well as covariance matrix estimates based on factor models, shrinkage estimators, and daily data. |
