Abstract

The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic investigation of risk-optimized portfolio models in digital financial ecosystems, during the 2020 pandemic crisis. This paper uses computational frameworks to estimate digitally available market data. We investigate performance of minimum variance and maximum risk-adjusted return portfolios against typical equally weighted benchmarks. The research suggests that return maximization comes at the expense of risk minimization in stressed market conditions, implying difficulties in always making money. The findings of this paper contribute to the further development of algorithmic asset management methods that can help create resilient digital finance strategies to cope with systemic market disruptions.
