What is Continuous-time Portfolio Optimization for Absolute Return Funds about?

This paper investigates a continuous-time portfolio optimization problem with the following features: (i) a no-short selling constraint; (ii) a leverage constraint, that is, an upper limit for the sum of portfolio weights; and (iii) a performance criterion based on the lower mean square error between the investor's wealth and a predetermined target wealth level. Since the target level is defined by a deterministic function independent of market indices, it corresponds to the criterion of absolute return funds. The model is formulated using the stochastic control framework with explicit boundary conditions. The corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation is solved numerically using the kernel-based collocation method. However, a straightforward implementation does not offer a stable and acceptable investment strategy; thus, some techniques to address this shortcoming are proposed. By applying the proposed methodology, two numerical results are obtained: one uses artificial data, and the other uses empirical data from Japanese organizations. There are two implications from the first result: how to stabilize the numerical solution, and a technique to circumvent the plummeting achie
