Abstract

In this work, we study the relationship between the mean-variance-based portfolio optimization algorithms' inputs parameters mu and Sigma and the rank-size function's law's estimated parameters from the best fit on the resulting sorted weights distribution. The objective is to explore the way weights describe a unified framework once they are ranked according to their sizes and, at the same time, the implications on the optimal allocation outcomes. Indeed, characterizing portfolio weights through rank-size curve parameters allows us to understand how portfolio risk and return vary as these parameters change.
