A Predictive Multi-Period Credibilistic Portfolio Selection Based on Stacked Ensemble
摘要
The effectiveness of portfolio management can be improved by integrating portfolio selection with stock return prediction. This paper proposes a novel predictive framework, E-BO-XGBoost, leveraging stacked a ensemble model to forecast multi-period stock returns. A predictive multi-period mean semi-absolute deviation credibilistic portfolio model is proposed, which incorporates transaction costs, upper and lower bounds, borrowing constraints, chance constraints, and cardinality constraints. The optimization problem corresponding to the model is a mixed-integer dynamic optimization problem with path dependence, which can be solved using the Genetic Algorithm. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed model, empirical analysis is conducted using the S&P 500 Index constituent stocks, and paired t-tests are applied to compare its returns with those of traditional benchmarks. The results show that the proposed model delivers significantly superior investment performance, and robustness tests based on the CSI 100 Index constituent stocks further corroborate these findings.
