El Karoui mathematically proved this in [1] and suggested improved estimators for unbiased estimation of this risk under specific model assumptions. Norm constrained portfolios have recently been studied to keep the effective dimension low. In this paper we consider three sets of high dimensional data, the stock market prices for three countries, namely US, UK and India. We compare the Markowitz efficient frontier to those obtained by unbiasedness corrections and imposing norm-constraints in these real data scenarios. We also study the out-of-sample performance of the different procedures. We find that the 2-norm constrained portfolio has best overall performance.展开更多
