## Robust Growth-Optimal Portfolios [pdf](https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/76990543.pdf)

A portfolio which has a maximum expected growth rate is often referred to in the literature as a logoptimal portfolio or a growth-optimal portfolio. The origin of the log-optimal portfolio is arguably
13+
due to Kelly when he observed that logarithmic wealth is additive in sequential investments and
14+
invented a betting strategy for gambling that relies on results from information theory. As a result of
15+
the law of large numbers, if investment returns are serially independent and identically distributed,
16+
the growth rate of any constant rebalanced portfolio (the log-optimal portfolio included) converges
17+
to its expectation. Moreover, under such conditions, one of the strongest advantages of the logoptimal portfolio is that, when implemented repeatedly, the log-optimal portfolio outperforms any
18+
other causal portfolio in the long run with probability 1. In other words, if all of these conditions
19+
are met, there is no sequence of portfolios that has a higher growth rate than that of the log-optimal
20+
portfolio. Stock markets however are different from casinos in the sense that investment returns are
21+
not serially independent and identically distributed. Also, since trading incurs transaction costs,
22+
investors are discouraged from making frequent trades. Plus, the probability distribution of stock
23+
returns is never precisely known, which impedes the calculation of the log-optimal portfolio. In
24+
this project, we generalize the results for the log-optimal portfolio. In particular, we establish similar guarantees for finite investment horizons where the distribution of stock returns is ambiguous.
25+
By focusing on constant rebalanced portfolios, we exploit temporal symmetries to formulate the
26+
emerging distributionally robust optimization problems as tractable conic programs whose sizes are
27+
independent of the investment horizon.
