ABSTRACT
This paper compared the composition and performance of portfolios
constructed by employing different risk measures utilizing the Malaysian share
market data in three diverse economic scenarios. The risk measures considered
were the mean-variance (MV) and their alternatives; the semi-variance
(SV),
mean absolute deviation (MAD) and conditional value at risk (CVAR).
The data were divided into three sub-periods representing the growth period in
the economy, financial crisis and the recovery period. The results of this
study showed different optimal portfolios’ performances and compositions for
the three economic periods. Nevertheless, among the risk models tested, CVAR(0.99)
model gave the highest portfolio skewness. High skewness means that the
probability of getting large negative returns is decreased. As a conclusion,
for the Malaysian stock market, the CVAR(0.99) model
is the most appropriate portfolio optimization model for downside risk aversion
investors in all three economic scenarios.
Keywords: Optimization; return; share market; skewness; variance
ABSTRAK
Kertas ini membandingkan komposisi dan prestasi
portfolio yang dibina menggunakan pengukuran risiko berlainan ke atas data
pasaran saham Malaysia dalam tiga senario ekonomi berbeza. Ukuran risiko yang
dipertimbangkan ialah min-varians (MV) dan alternatifnya; semi-varians (SV),
min sisihan mutlak (MAD) dan nilai bersyarat pada risiko (CVAR). Data dibahagi kepada tiga sub-tempoh yang mewakili tempoh
pertumbuhan ekonomi, krisis kewangan dan tempoh pemulihan. Keputusan kajian menunjukkan prestasi dan komposisi portfolio yang
optimum adalah berbeza bagi tiga tempoh ekonomi tersebut. Namun begitu,
daripada model risiko yang diuji, model CVAR(0.99)
memberikan kepencongan portfolio tertinggi. Kepencongan
tinggi bermakna kebarangkalian mendapat pulangan negatif yang besar
berkurangan. Kesimpulannya, untuk pasaran saham Malaysia, model CVAR(0.99)
merupakan model pengoptimuman portfolio yang paling sesuai untuk pelaburan
penghindaran risiko ke bawah dalam ketiga-tiga senario ekonomi.
