RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Mean-ETL Optimization of a Global Portfolio JF The Journal of Investing FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 115 OP 119 DO 10.3905/joi.2013.22.4.115 VO 22 IS 4 A1 Barret Pengyuan Shao A1 Svetlozar T. Rachev YR 2013 UL https://pm-research.com/content/22/4/115.abstract AB In this article, the authors examine the mean-expected tail loss (ETL) portfolio optimization of global portfolios using a global expected return (GLER) model, which is based on fundamental data of companies. Empirically, they show that for the 2003–2011 period, mean-ETL portfolios based on a GLER model could generate statistically significant active returns. Also, they show that the GLER model active return dominates the United States expected returns model active returns for the same periods. The global markets offer greater opportunities than the U.S. markets.TOPICS: Fundamental equity analysis, portfolio construction
