Data-Driven Dynamic Portfolio Selection with Vine Copula Simulation and Reinforcement Learning

We develop a data-driven approach to dynamic portfolio selection that combines vine-copula simulation with reinforcement learning. The investor has constant relative risk aversion and maximises expected terminal utility with a running penalty on the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) of one-period los

Optimal portfolio and consumption under no-shorting constraints: The exploratory formulation and reinforcement learning

We develop a reinforcement-learning framework for the continuous-time optimal portfolio-consumption via utility maximization under no-shorting portfolio constraints. We adopt the exploratory formulation under entropy regularization and impose no-shorting constraint through a componentwise nonnegativ

Solving dynamic portfolio selection problems via score-based diffusion models

In this paper, we tackle the dynamic mean-variance portfolio selection problem in a {"\it model-free"} manner, based on (generative) diffusion models. We propose using data sampled from the real model $\mathbb P$ (which is unknown) with limited size to train a generative model $\mathbb Q$ (from whic
