摘要
This study evaluates the performance of risk-based portfolios under different market conditions. We compare four strategies, namely, the equally weighted portfolio (EW), the global minimum variance portfolio (GMV), the most diversified portfolio (MDP) and the equal risk contribution portfolio (ERC). No single strategy consistently dominates the others, under different market conditions. As expected, the GMV has the least downside risk. Although there is no clear winner among the risk-based portfolios, there is evidence that they generally outperform the market capitalization based portfolio. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
