Abstract
The paper demonstrates how multi-period portfolio optimization problems can be efficiently solved as multi-stage stochastic linear programs. A scheme based on a blending of classical Benders decomposition techniques and a special technique, called importance sampling, is used to solve this general class of multi-stochastic linear programs. We discuss the case where stochastic parameters are dependent within a period as well as between periods. Initial computational results are presented.

Scenarios for Multistage Stochastic Programs

TL;DR: The case when enough data paths can be generated according to an accepted parametric or nonparametric stochastic model when no assumptions on convexity with respect to the random parameters are required is discussed.

Markowitz Revisited: Mean-Variance Models in Financial Portfolio Analysis

TL;DR: The interplay between objective and constraints in a number of single-period variants, including semivariance models are described, revealing the possibility of removing surplus money in future decisions, yielding approximate downside risk minimization.

Monte Carlo sampling-based methods for stochastic optimization

TL;DR: An overview of the use of Monte Carlo sampling-based methods for stochastic optimization problems with sampling is given, with the goal of introducing the topic to students and researchers and providing a practical guide for someone who needs to solve a stochastically optimization problem with sampling.

Stochastic dual dynamic integer programming

TL;DR: An extension to SDDP—called stochastic dual dynamic integer programming (SDDiP)—for solving MSIP problems with binary state variables is proposed and it is shown that, under fairly reasonable assumptions, an MSIP problem with general state variables can be approximated by one withbinary state variables to desired precision with only a modest increase in problem size.

The mean-variance approach to portfolio optimization subject to transaction costs

TL;DR: The experimental analysis indicates that ignoring the transa,ction costss results in inefficient portfolios, and there does not exist statistica,lly significant difference in portfolio performance with different methods to estimate the expected return of se~urit~ies, when considering the tra,nsact,ion costs int,o the p~rt~folio return.
