摘要
In this paper, we consider the problem of finding optimal portfolios in cases when the underlying probability model is not perfectly known. For the sake of robustness, a maximin approach is applied which uses a 'confidence set' for the probability distribution. The approach shows the tradeoff between return, risk and robustness in view of the model ambiguity. As a consequence, a monetary value of information in the model can be determined.
