Robust optimization models for managing callable bond portfolios
Article Abstract:
Two optimization models for managing portfolios of callable bonds have been developed. The single-period model ensures robustness by penalizing downside error. The other model is a multi-stage stochastic program with recourse. Backtests on both models using ex poste market data show that they perform consistently well. The stochastic portfolio achieved a greater annual overperformance compared to the robust optimization portfolio.

A stochastic programming model for money management
Article Abstract:
Portfolio managers need innovative techniques to assess fixed-income markets such as mortgages, derivatives and high-yield bonds. The money management strategy presented in the study is a multi-period, stochastic programming problem with recourse. The model can be hedged against various forms of uncertainties in fixed-income markets and can provide superior results compared to dynamic, single-period stochastic models.
