Asset Allocation with Real-World Constraints Flashcard Deck - 7 Cards

Flashcard 1: Benefits and Costs of Rebalancing

Answer: Benefits - Decrease in PV of expected utility loss - Controls the level of drift in overall portfolio risk - Maintains desired systematic risk exposure Costs - Transaction costs - Tax costs

Flashcard 2: Percentage-of-Portfolio Rebalancing\ Optimal Corridor Width

Answer: Managers should consider 5 factors: 1. Transaction Costs - Higher costs = wider corridor 2. Risk Tollerance - Higher tollerance = wider corridor 3. Correlation of returns with other asset classes - Higher = wider corridor 4. Asset class volatility - Higher = narrower corridor 5. Volatility with returns of other assets in portfolio - Higher = narrower corridor

Flashcard 3: Risks in International Assets

Answer: The additional risks to consider are: - Currency Risk - Exposes the investor to changes in value of foreign asset and changes in value of the foreign currency. - Political Risk - Exists when a country has irresponsible fiscal and/or monetary policy, lacks rules to support financial markets - Home Country Bias - Investors tend to overweight investments in their own country, creating suboptimal portfolios. Additional costs include higher transaction costs, tax inefficiencies.

Flashcard 4: MVO & Risk-Free Asset

Answer: When a risk-free asset exists it leads to the concept of CALs and CMLs. A CAL is a line between the risk-free and a portfolio of risky assets while the CML is a line between the risk-free and the market portfolio. Practical problems include: - Often no risk-free asset that meets the requirement of zero standard deviation and zero correlation. - Borrowing creates obligations that may be unacceptable. If included it is typically treated as a risky asset.

Flashcard 5: Emerging Markets

Answer: The special considerations of emerging market investing include: - Liquidity and free-float can be limited - Non-normal return distributions inconsistent with mean-variance assumptions. Tend to be leptokurtic (fat tails) - Can exhibit contagion - Restrictions of ability to repatriate - Inefficient markets

Flashcard 6: Corner Portfolios

Answer: When short selling is constrained portfolio weights must sum to 1, in this case the EF can closely be approximated by a linear combination of corner portfolios. The Global Minimum Variance Portfolio is a Corner Portfolio. All other Corner Portfolios are set when the weight of an asset class changes from zero to positive or positive to zero. ![](https://ylbwdadhbcjolwylidja.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/anki-flashcards/system/cfa-l3-main/45efddbd9e535231/d35f2128bd2936e78ad362f5dbc13a3e454e9cc5287ef22053a4bf73815e6a88.jpg) Will slightly overstate the risk. Should always use the closest pair of brackets.

Flashcard 7: Percentage range rebalancing (5) 1. transaction cost 2. correlations between classes 3. risk tolerance 4. markets type 5. asset class volatility (excluding the one considered) 6. asset class volatility (the one considered)

Answer: is when a band is violated. Wider bands for: 1. higher transaction cost 2. higher correlations between classes 3. higher risk tolerance 4. momentum markets 5. less volatile asset classes (excluding the one considered) because higher volatility increases the likelihood that the actual allocation will diverge over time from the target allocation. if mention about concern over transaction cost, higher volaitlity should have a wider corridor to avoid costs.
