不明白这题的题目和答案什么意思,能不能麻烦老师解读一下
Gill also reminds Chan, “We have used a traditional mean–variance approach to optimize your current portfolio allocation, but this will not be appropriate for a portfolio that includes substantial allocations to alternative investments. Returns to traditional asset classes are normally distributed, whereas returns to alternative investments tend to exhibit non-normality. For alternative investments, even the most basic estimate of risk, the standard deviation of returns, is likely to be measured incorrectly, because of the way returns are calculated and reported. A common approach to portfolio optimization when alternative assets are involved is a two-step process that first uses a mean–variance analysis for the traditional asset classes and then incorporates alternative assets using more sophisticated techniques, such as Monte Carlo simulation.”
