| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 國際經營與貿易學系 === 105 === This article discusses the recently most popular “Quasi-passive index strategy”, especially from risk diversification aspect. We select three major portfolio strategies, including Equal Weighted Portfolio (EW), Naïve Risk Parity Portfolio (RP), and Minimum Correlation Portfolio (MCP), and apply all of three to the Yuanta/ P-shares Taiwan Top 50 ETF in Taiwan. The back-test period of the strategy is from January 5th, 2004, to December 30th, 2016 (around 13 years). In the empirical analysis, we not only compare the performance and risk of different strategies, but also focus on a variety of the measurement of diversification, such as Diversification Ratio (DR), Concentration Ratio (CR), Volatility-weighted Average Correlation (ρ), and Herfindahl Index (HI), all of which can quantify the degree of diversification control.
In the empirical result, we find that Minimum Correlation Portfolio (MCP), applied in the Yuanta/ P-shares Taiwan Top 50 ETF, will allocate highly concentrated on some specific industry (equivalently high CR and high HI). However, this strategy significantly and efficiently controls the factor of “Volatility-weighted Average Correlation (ρ)”. Therefore, MCP can minimize the coefficient correlation between each pair asset and achieve the goal of risk diversification.
