Abstract

The standard portfolio optimization tools assume that we know the future with certainty and can predict the distribution of future returns with pin-point accuracy. In reality it is hopelessly optimistic, and in fact even the past distribution of returns is uncertain. How does this affect the results of portfolio optimization, and what should we do about it?
