This repository contains the code for solving constrained risk budgeting with generalized standard deviation-based risk measure:
This formulation encompasses Gaussian value-at-risk and Gaussian expected shortfall and the volatility. The algorithm supports bounds constraints and inequality constraints. It is is efficient for large dimension and suitable for backtesting.
A description can be found in Constrained Risk Budgeting Portfolios: Theory, Algorithms, Applications & Puzzles by Jean-Charles Richard and Thierry Roncalli.
