基于马尔可夫决策过程的债券组合动态优化与交易成本
文章 arXiv papers · 作者: Balaji Ramachandran et al.
总结
本文提出一种基于模拟的方法,用于跨多个时期管理债券组合,同时考虑利率风险和比例交易成本。研究用动态 Nelson-Siegel 因子及其向量自回归动态来模拟收益率曲线变动,再用时变离散状态马尔可夫链近似不同期限收益率的联合分布。该链为有限期限马尔可夫决策过程提供状态。投资者的目标是最大化预期终值财富,通过逆向归纳法得到最优再平衡策略。
该框架针对静态配置的一个实际弱点:随着利率上升,集中持有长期债券的组合可能面临亏损和流动性压力。本文还考察截断转移概率带来的误差。研究报告称,截断对终值财富均值影响很小,但可能显著扭曲回撤和尾部风险统计。摘要未提供详细数据、参数选择或更广泛的验证,因此这些结果不能证明该方法适用于其他投资组合或市场环境。
核心观点
- 该框架在计入再平衡比例成本的同时,优化跨期债券持仓。
- 收益率曲线因子采用动态 Nelson-Siegel 模型和向量自回归建模。
- 离散马尔可夫链近似联合收益率过程,并为有限期限决策问题定义状态。
- 逆向归纳法得到最大化预期终值财富的策略。
- 截断转移概率可能在保留财富均值的同时扭曲回撤和尾部风险指标。

# Multiperiod bond portfolio optimization with transaction costs using a Markov Decision process # Multiperiod bond portfolio optimization with transaction costs using a Markov Decision process Bank treasury portfolios must balance yield, liquidity, and interest-rate risk across bonds of different maturities. Static allocation rules are ill-suited to this task: portfolios concentrated in long-duration securities with no dynamic adjust- ment mechanism can accumulate large mark-to-market losses and liquidity stress under rising interest rates, as illustrated by the failure of Silicon Valley Bank in 2023. We develop a tractable simulation-based framework for multi-period bond port- folio optimization under interest-rate risk and proportional transaction costs. Yield-curve dynamics are modeled using the Dynamic Nelson-Siegel parameter- ization with Vector Autoregressive factor dynamics, from which we construct a time-inhomogeneous discrete-state Markov chain approximating the joint yield process across bond maturities. This chain forms the state space of a finite- horizon Markov Decision Process in which the investor maximizes expected terminal wealth subject to proportional rebalancing costs. The optimal portfolio policy is obtained by backward induction. We also quantify the approximation error introduced by truncating the transition kernel, and show that it leaves mean terminal wealth almost unchanged while substantially distorting drawdown and tail statistics.
