Abstract:

The renowned Markowitz mean-varianceportfolio analysis forms the foundation of modern investment science. However,the empirical performance of estimated mean-variance efficient portfoliosoftentimes does not come close to meet the expectation when there are more thanseveral assets in the investment universe. As many have observed recently, theymay even underperform the naive diversification which simply assigns equalweights across all assets. These findings inevitably cast a shadow on theusefulness of the Markowitz theory. To re-assert the practical value ofmean-variance analysis, we show here that this ``Markowitz optimizationenigma'' (Michaud, 1998) could be resolved by carefully balancing the tradeoffbetween the estimation error and systematic error through the so-calledsubspace mean-variance analysis. In addition to the consistent improvementobserved on real and simulated data sets, we prove that in a large market, itis possible to use this strategy to construct portfolio rules whose performanceclosely resemble that of theoretical mean-variance efficient portfolios.
