Joint Return and Risk Modeling with Deep Neural Networks for Portfolio Construction

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

Deep neural networks can be used for joint return and risk modeling in portfolio construction, enabling end-to-end learning of dynamic expected returns and risk structures

advanced Published 23 Mar 2026
Action Steps
  1. Collect and preprocess sequential financial data
  2. Design and train a deep neural network to jointly model returns and risks
  3. Evaluate the performance of the model using backtesting and walk-forward optimization
  4. Refine the model by incorporating additional features or using techniques such as regularization and early stopping
Who Needs to Know This

Quantitative analysts and portfolio managers can benefit from this approach as it allows for more accurate and dynamic portfolio optimization, while data scientists and AI engineers can implement and refine the deep neural network models
