Abstract

This paper proposes markovian models in portfolio theory and risk management. At first, we describe discrete time optimal allocation models. Then, we examine the investor¡¯s optimal choices either when the returns are uniquely determined by their mean and variance or when they are modeled by a Markov chain. We subject these models to back-testing on out-of-sample data, in order to assess their forecasting ability. Finally, we propose some models to compute VaR and CVaR when the returns are modeled by a Markov chain.
