Abstract | In portfolio risk minimization, the inverse covariance matrix of returns is often unknown and has to be estimated in practice. Yet the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix are often over-dispersed, leading to severe estimation errors in the inverse covariance matrix. To deal with this problem, we propose a general framework by shrinking the sample eigenvalues based on Schatten norm. The proposed framework has the advantage to be computationally efficient as well as structure free. The comparative studies show that our approach behaves reasonably well in terms of reducing out-of-sample portfolio risk and turnover. |
