Abstract

En este trabajo se describe la implementación de un algoritmo que desarrolla una estrategia de construcción de portafolio cuyo objetivo es mejorar el rendimiento ajustado por riesgo a través de la ruptura de las estructuras de dependencia lineal de largo plazo entre sus activos. Se compara su desempeño, para los casos de Argentina, Brasil, Chile y México, contra el correspondiente índice de mercado así como contra un portafolio de mínima varianza construido de manera tradicional. Adicionalmente, se usa el caso estadunidense para contrastar los resultados de la estrategia en mercados emergentes con los de mercados desarrollados. Nuestros resultados sugieren que para cada país, salvo el caso de México, el portafolio propuesto supera a los dos de referencia. Más aún, se observa que el potencial beneficio obtenido por la estrategia propuesta es mayor en mercados emergentes en comparación a los mercados financieros desarrollados. / This paper describes the implementation of an algorithm that develops a portfolio building strategy that aims to improve the risk-adjusted return through the elimination of the long-term linear dependence structure among its assets. To illustrate the benefits of this strategy, the performance of four different portfolios formed with Argentinian, Brasilean, Chilean and Mexican assets are compared both against their corresponding market index and a minimum-variance portfolio built in a traditional manner. Additionally, the case for the US market is presented to find evidence of a differentiated result between the performance of the strategy in emerging markets and the one in developed markets. Our results suggest that for each country, except for the Mexican case, the portfolio proposed outperforms the two benchmarks. Moreover, it is observed that the potential benefit obtained by the proposed strategy is higher in emerging markets compared to developed financial markets.
