A Python implementation of the Principal Portfolios methodology by Kelly, Malamud, and Pedersen (2023), enabling optimal asset allocation by exploiting cross-predictability among asset returns.

Project description

principal_portfolios

A Python package implementing the Principal Portfolios methodology introduced by Kelly, Malamud, and Pedersen (2023), The Journal of Finance.

📘 Overview

This package provides tools for constructing and analyzing Principal Portfolios—linear trading strategies derived from the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the prediction matrix that captures both own-asset and cross-asset predictive signals.

Key components include:

  • Construction of the prediction matrix from asset returns and signals
  • Decomposition into:
    • Principal Portfolios (PPs): timeable portfolios ordered by predictability
    • Principal Exposure Portfolios (PEPs): factor-exposed strategies (beta)
    • Principal Alpha Portfolios (PAPs): factor-neutral strategies (alpha)
