Strategic asset allocation is the single most important determinant of portfolio returns. While the drawbacks of using mean-variance optimization and the sample covariance matrix for strategic asset allocation are well-documented in the literature, they are still broadly applied among investment professionals. In this thesis we study two robust alternatives for the sample covariance matrix, shrinkage and hierarchical clustering, and two robust alternatives for mean-variance optimization, resampling optimization and regularized optimization. We develop a generalisable testing framework for comparing the out-of-sample risk-return characteristics of a broad range of covariance estimation and portfolio optimization methods. The testing fra...
