Empirical growth optimal portfolio selections

This talk provides a survey of discrete time, multi period, sequential investment strategies for financial markets. Under memoryless  assumption on the underlying process generating the asset prices the Best Constantly Rebalanced Portfolio is studied, called log-optimal portfolio, which achieves the maximal asymptotic average growth rate.  For generalized dynamic portfolio selection, when asset prices are generated by a stationary and ergodic process,  growth optimal empirical strategies are shown, where some principles of nonparametric regression estimation and of machine learning aggregation are applied. The empirical performance of the methods is illustrated for NYSE data.
