Description

A method and system for assessing asset portfolio investment risk Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of financial transaction analysis, and in particular to an asset portfolio investment risk assessment method and system. Background Art

[0002] As the operating rules of my country's securities market gradually improve, the question of how to rationally construct an investment portfolio with investors' funds has become a hot topic in applied finance. Markowitz's mean-variance portfolio theory focuses on determining the optimal portfolio weights—the proportion of wealth invested in financially risky assets. It is a key component of capital market theory in addressing financial investment decisions. According to this theory, investors can construct optimal portfolios by globally minimizing the portfolio variance (GMVP) for a given expected return or maximizing the portfolio return for a given portfolio risk. To implement these portfolios in practice, we must estimate the mean and covariance matrix of asset returns.

[0003] Traditionally, sample means and covariance matrices are used as estimates. However, due to estimation errors, the resulting portfolio weights can fluctuate significantly over time. Estimating the mean of asset returns is more difficult than estimating the covariance of asset returns, and estimation errors in the mean are often large. The "problematic" mean of asset returns means that global minimum variance (GMVP) models often perform better than mean-variance models, and thus global minimum variance portfolio models are widely used in portfolio selection problems. The only input required by GMVP is the covariance matrix of the asset returns under consideration. The output of GMVP is a vector of portfolio weights, which tells investors how much wealth to invest in each stock to achieve a portfolio with the minimum amount of variance.

[0004] However, the traditional method involves many parameters when calculating, which increases the complexity of the calculation, resulting in a higher estimation error of the global minimum variance portfolio risk.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the disadvantage that the existing technology involves too many parameters during calculation, resulting in a high estimation error of the global minimum variance investment portfolio risk, the present invention proposes an asset portfolio investment risk assessment method and system. The reference of the Spiked model can effectively reduce the computational complexity of large-dimensional data and greatly reduce the parameters that need to be designed, thereby more efficiently estimating the investment portfolio risk and obtaining a more accurate risk estimate value of the investment portfolio, thereby solving the problem that the existing technology involves too many parameters during calculation, resulting in a high estimation error of the global minimum variance investment portfolio risk.
