Abstract

We consider the problem of managing a portfolio of moving-band statistical arbitrages (MBSAs), inspired by the Markowitz optimization framework. We show how to manage a dynamic basket of MBSAs, and illustrate the method on recent historical data, showing that it can perform very well in terms of risk-adjusted return, essentially uncorrelated with the market.
