Which statement is (are) false about resampled efficient frontier?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Here is a structured analysis of each option regarding the false statements about the resampled efficient frontier.

Option A: 'EF more stable than traditional MV.'
- Think about what resampling does: by repeatedly sampling from the data and re-estimating the frontier, the resulting efficient frontier tends to smooth out estimation error and produce portfolios that are less sensitive to any single sample peculiarities. This generally leads to greater stability in the sense that the resulting EF portfolios don’t swing as wildly with small data changes. However, note that 'more stable' is not guaranteed in all contexts; it is a typical outcome due to reduction in estimation error, but it can still be influenced by data characteristics and model assumptions. Overall, this statement is commonly considered true, though with caveats.

Option B: 'Portfolios tend to be better diversified than s traditional MV.'
- Resampling often yields a broader mix of asset weights across multiple fronts, and the aggregated or averaged results across resamples tend to promote diversification relative to a single traditional MV solution, which can overconcentrate due to estimation noise. This aligns with the intuitive goal of resampling: to mitigate overfitting to a single sample and encourage diversification. This statement is typically viewed as true.

Option C: 'There is a theoretical support that a portfolio constructed through resampling should provide superior performance relative to another portfolio constructed through traditional mean variance analysis.'
- This is the crux of the falsehood. While resampling can improve robustness and reduce estimation error, there is generally no hard theoretical guarantee that a resampled portfolio will outperform a portfolio built by traditional mean-variance analysis in all cases. Superior performance depends on market regimes, estimation error, and model misspecification; resampling reduces some risks but does not promise relative outperformance with certainty. Therefore, this statement is false.

Option D: 'A and B.'
- If both A and B are true (as argued above, they are commonly true), then claiming 'A and B' together describes a true statement about resampled EF. Since the task is to identify false statements, D would be considered true and not the answer.

Option E: 'B and C.'
- Since B is true but C is false, the conjunction 'B and C' is false. Therefore, this option correctly identifies a false composite statement.

Option F: 'All statements above.'
- Because C (and thus the composite E) is false, the claim that all statements above are true cannot hold. Hence, F is false.

Summary of the false statements based on typical understanding:
- C is false because there is no universal theoretical guarantee of superior performance from resampling alone. The other statements (A and B) align with common interpretations of resampled EF, while D, E, and F depend on the truth of their components and, given C is false, are not overall true.

Note: Different curricula or texts may phrase nuances slightly differently, but the core idea remains: resampling tends to stabilize and diversify but does not guarantee outperformance relative to traditional mean-variance portfolios.
