This paper analyzes the relevance of a set of some performance measures for optimal portfolios including hedge funds. Four criteria are considered: the Sharpe Ratio, the Returns on VaR and on CVaR, and the Omega performance measure. The results are illustrated by an allocation on several indices: HFR (Global Hedge Fund Index), JPM Government Bond Index, S&P GSCI, MSCI World and the UBS Global Convertible. Both static and dynamic optimizations are considered. Due to the non-convexity of some of the criteria, we use the "threshold accepting algorithm" to solve numerically the optimization problems. The time period of the analysis is September 1997 to August 2007. Our results suggest that, for the dynamic optimization, the portfolio which maximizes the Omega measure has the more stable...

Every silver lining has a cloud, and that is nowhere more true than the stock market where federal and military investors have billions of 401(k) plan dollars. More on the cloud vs. silver lining in a moment. First, this snapshot of the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP): Federal and military investors have $226 billion in the TSP. The in-house government 401(k) plan offers investors the choice of four stock index funds, a bond index fund, a special U.S. Treasury securities fund and four self-adjusting Lifecycle or target date funds.
Ross writes: "You advise placing 20 percent of a portfolio in the Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund. Aren't the prices of bonds with long maturities more volatile than those of short maturities? Since I'm 61 years old and approaching retirement, Vanguard's Total Bond Index Fund, whose maturities are shorter, would seem better for me. What's your reaction? At 61 years old, Ross, you're just a youngster! If you're in any kind of reasonable health, count on living for 40 years - about the length of your working life. Forget about changing your portfolio upon retirement. The market doesn't care whether you're retired or not. Invest the best way all the time.
