Optimizing Transition Strategies for Small to Medium Sized Portfolios
Nakul Upadhya, Alexandre Granzer-Guay
This work discusses the benefits of constrained portfolio turnover strategies for small to medium-sized portfolios. We propose a dynamic multi-period model that aims to minimize transaction costs and maximize terminal wealth levels whilst adhering to strict portfolio turnover constraints. Our results demonstrate that using our framework in combination with a reasonable forecast, can lead to higher portfolio values and lower transaction costs on average when compared to a naive, single-period model. Such results were maintained given different problem cases, such as, trading horizon, assets under management, wealth levels, etc. In addition, the proposed model lends itself to a reformulation that makes use of the column generation algorithm which can be strategically leveraged to reduce complexity and solving times.
