Reliability study of TimeGAN scenarios in Rachev ratio portfolio optimization released
Get up to speed
Yifan He published an academic paper evaluating the reliability and investment impact of TimeGAN-generated scenarios in Rachev ratio portfolio allocation. The study uses 12 ETFs, comparing historical, alternative, and hybrid strategies under delayed execution and transaction costs. The study finds that TimeGAN-generated scenarios underestimate volatility and tail losses, and distort inter-asset dependencies; extending training only reduces reconstruction loss but cannot improve the accuracy of cross-asset correlations. Alternative strategies increase turnover and are sensitive to the lower bound of the objective function denominator, and adjusting this lower bound cannot consistently improve realized downside risk.

- arXiv q-finEvaluating the Substitution and Complementary Effects of TimeGAN Scenarios in Rachev Ratio Portfolio Optimization
This arXiv paper evaluates the reliability and investment consequences of TimeGAN-generated scenarios in Rachev ratio portfolio allocation. Using 12 ETFs, it compares historical, substitution, and hybrid strategies under delayed execution and transaction costs. The study finds that generated scenarios underestimate volatility and tail losses and distort dependencies between assets; extending training only reduces reconstruction loss without improving cross-asset correlation accuracy. Substitution strategies increase turnover and are sensitive to the lower bound of the objective function denominator, and adjusting this lower bound does not consistently improve realized downside risk.
