An Algorithm for Portfolio Optimization with Variable Transaction Costs, Part 2: Computational Analysis

In Part 1 of this paper, we introduced a (2K+1)n-dimensional portfolio optimization problem with variable transaction costs taken into account. We presented a method for solving the (2K+1)n-dimensional problem by solving a sequence of n-dimensional optimization problems accounting for the transactio...

Zusammenfassung:In Part 1 of this paper, we introduced a (2K+1)n-dimensional portfolio optimization problem with variable transaction costs taken into account. We presented a method for solving the (2K+1)n-dimensional problem by solving a sequence of n-dimensional optimization problems accounting for the transaction costs implicitly rather than explicitly. In Part 2, we propose a degeneracy resolving rule, present computational results comparing our method with the interior-point optimizer of Mosek, well known for its speed and efficient use of sparsity, and also address the efficiency of the new method.
