Abstract:
Evolutionary Portfolio Theory models financial markets as a dynamic interaction of investment strategies giving rise to a non-linear random dynamical system. It is shown that in this dynamical system a certain fundamental investment strategy has the highest growth rate of wealth, i.e. it is a survival strategy. Moreover, it is also the unique evolutionary stable strategy. Our result has been applied in a very successful investment fund that is ultra-stable, i.e. that survives market crashes well since it benefits from economic opportunities creates by crises.
