Abstract

Employing a nonlinear multi-criteria optimization approach, sentiment-based disagreement is incorporated into portfolio optimization as additional risk factor. A multi-criteria trading strategy outperforms several benchmarks regarding various performance measures. Applying the strategy over a long time period including downturns and upswings, disagreement proves itself especially valuable in bear markets as it is an indicator for future volatility.
