Addressing Market Regime Changes and Heavy-Tailed Returns in Portfolio Optimization via Bayesian VAR and Elliptical Black-Litterman
arXiv:2606.09104v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) frameworks for portfolio optimization have shown promise for their ability to learn allocation rules dynamically from market data. However, these models fail to account for fat-tailed returns, which characterize actual market behavior with more frequent extreme events. Furthermore, historical data is treated homogeneously, without accounting for temporal importance, leading models to fail during regime changes. We propose a new BAVAR-BLED algorithm that combines methods derived from Bayesian-Averaging Vector Auto
The increasing sophistication of AI in finance and the persistent challenge of market volatility require more robust models that account for real-world market characteristics.
Improved portfolio optimization models that handle heavy-tailed returns and regime changes can lead to more stable and profitable investment strategies for institutional allocators.
The proposed BAVAR-BLED algorithm significantly enhances the reliability and adaptability of AI-driven portfolio optimization, moving beyond the limitations of current DRL frameworks.
