首页时间序列分析的多资产市场统计套利策略
统计套利策略是最传统的投资策略之一。 迄今为止,有许多理论和实证研究。 但是,几乎所有的统计套利策略都集中于同一资产类别中两个相似资产之间的价格差(价差),并利用价差的均值反转,即成对交易。 在这项研究中,我们将策略扩展到多资产市场中的多种资产。 尽管均值回归投资组合是在相关研究中基于单个标准得出的,但我们通过优化多个均值回归标准来导出均值回归投资组合。 我们期望基于多个指标的均值回归投资组合会导致更高的回报/风险。 我们在多资产市场中进行了实证分析,并显示了我们策略的盈利能力。

Abstract
The statistical arbitrage strategy is one of the most traditional investment
strategies. There are many theoretical and empirical studies until now. How-
ever, almost all of the statistical arbitrage strategies focus on the price differ-
ence (spread) between two similar assets in the same asset class and exploit
the mean reversion of spreads,
i.e.
pairs tradin
g. In this study, we extend the
strategy to multiple assets in the multi-asset market. Although mean-reverting
portfolios were derived based on a single criterion in related researches, we
derive a mean-reverting portfolio by optimizing multiple mean-reversion cri-
teria. We expect that a mean-reverting portfolio based on multiple indicators
leads to a higher return/risk. We perform an empirical analysis in multi-
asset
market and show the profitability of our strategy.

1. Introduction
Portfolio selection is one of the most important topics in mathematical finance.
Modern portfolio theory has its genesis in the seminal works of Markowitz [1].
In Markowitz analysis, the investment return should be maximized for a given
level of risk. Therefore, the main problem of portfolio selection is how to derive
a portfolio with a higher return/risk. Several researchers have been built some
models to maximize return/risk of the portfolio. For example, there are many
studies based on methods such as machine learning [2] and uncertainty theory
[3] in recent years. In addition to maximizing return/risk, there have been pro-
posed methods for constructing portfolios based on various criteria. Risk-based
portfolio that focuses only on risk such as risk parity [4], factor risk parity [5]

and complex valued risk parity [6] is a typical example.
Also, deriving a mean reverting portfolio is one of the most popular methods
in portfolio selection [7] [8]. Traditionally, a mean reverting portfolio originated
from pairs trading. There are many studies on the mean reversion of the price
difference between two similar assets,
i.e.
spread until now. A broad range of in-
vestors from individual investors to institutional investors invest in pairs trading
strategy exploiting the mean reversion of spread [9]. According to [10], there are
many approaches to the pairs trading strategy such as stocks distance, time series
model e.g. co-integration and stochastic control. However, since many related
works of the pairs trading strategy focused on the spread only between similar
stocks, the investment universe was stocks in a single asset class. In this study,
we propose pairs trading strategy which invest on assets in different asset classes,
by deriving the mean-reverting portfolio in not a single asset market but the
multi-asset market. When the portfolio is far away to a certain extent from the
average level, we take a position in the direction of mean reversion. Specifically,
we construct the portfolio based on multiple criteria for the mean reversion de-
fined based on different perspectives. By using the technique of a multi-objective
optimization problem called Polynomial Goal Programming (PGP), we propose
a fair approach to combine the quantitative criteria of the mean reversion. We
aim to obtain the arbitrage opportunity between global asset classes in the mul-
ti-asset market.
The remaining sections of this paper are organized as follows. In Section 2, we
briefly describe the related studies of the mean reverting portfolio using the
time-series model. In Section 3, we introduce multiple indicators denoting the
“goodness” of the mean reversion and a method of integrating the indicators
called PGP. In Section 4, we describe the pairs trading strategy in the multi-asset
market and in Section 5, we verify its effectiveness through empirical analysis
with the actual financial market data. Finally, we conclude.
2. Related Work
Quantitative indicators of the mean reversion have been proposed in various
forms. Here, we use three types of indicators describing the mean reversion:
Predictability, Portmanteau Statistics and Crossing Statistics. Predictability in-
dicates how close to the white noise in terms of the variance of time series [11]
[12]. Portmanteau Statistics indicates how close to the white noise in terms of
the correlation of time series [13]. Crossing Statistics indicates how many times
the time series crosses the average level in the unit time interval [14]. As pairs
trading strategies using predictability, portmanteau statistics, crossing statistics
alone respectively, there are related researches investing on the implied volatility
of the U.S. stocks [7] and U.S. stocks [8]. Although these researches are useful in
that they evaluate the effectiveness of the single quantitative indicator of the
mean reversion, they do not construct a mean reverting portfolio based on mul-
tiple perspectives. Our method combines Predictability, Portmanteau Statistics

and Crossing Statistics by solving the multi-objective optimization problem. We
expect that a mean-reverting portfolio based on multiple indicators leads to a
higher return/risk. However, there remains a problem that we have no idea how
to combine the multiple indicators fairly. As a method of solving such mul-
ti-objective optimization problems fairly, a method called PGP is often used for
portfolio optimization problems with higher-order moments [15]. In this study,
we apply PGP to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. Furthermore,
we extend the strategy to multiple assets in the multi-asset market. The compar-
ison of our research and related work is summarized in
Table 1.
