Abstract:
Many financial portfolios are not mean-variance-skewness-kurtosis efficient. We recommend tilting these portfolios in a direction that increases their estimated mean and third central moment and decreases their variance and fourth central moment. The advantages of tilting come at the cost of deviation from the initial optimality criterion. In this paper, we show the usefulness of portfolio tilting applied to the equally-weighted, equal-risk-contribution and maximum diversification portfolios in a UCITS-compliant asset allocation setting.

If a rigid body is rotating about an axis but is not in translational motion, its translational kinetic energy is zero. However, since each particle undergoes rotational motion, it possesses non-zero velocity and kinetic energy. Thus, the kinetic energy of the rigid body, which is the sum of the...
