Abstract: We describe a study of application of novel risk modeling and optimization techniques to daily portfolio management. In the first part of the study, we develop and compare specialized methods for scenario generation and scenario tree construction. In the second part, we construct a two-stage stochastic programming problem with conditional measures of risk, which is used to re-balance the portfolio on a rolling horizon basis, with transaction costs included in the model. In the third part, we present an extensive simulation study on real-world data of several versions of the methodology. We show that two-stage models outperform single-stage models in terms of long-term performance. We also show that using high-order risk measures is superior to first-order measures.
