Risk Budgeting Portfolios from Simulations

Date:

We show several algorithms for constructing Risk Budgeting porfolios using only simulations. Such algorithms are especially useful when the underlying distribution is unknown, or when the risk measure does not allow for a closed-form expression. We compare the performance of the resulting portfolios with other strategies in a 14-year backtest, and show that they indeed provide stable asset allocations.
