Summary

Random portfolios are a general tool that undoubtedly have a number of applications yet to be discovered.

Description

Random portfolios are a close analogue to the statistical bootstrap and to random permutation tests. Wherever there are portfolios with constraints there is likely to be an opportunity to use random portfolios to learn about dispersal and/or to compare with “what would happen by chance”.

Random portfolios are also a source of realistic portfolios that may be input to models.
