Methods & Models
Core approaches
  • Multi-target AI prediction of asset returns under sustainability.
  • Explainable AI (XAI)
  • Multiobjective portfolio optimization with nonlinear constraints.
  • Regime-switching and ML ensembles for portfolio volatility measurement.
  • Backtesting with walk-forward validation and nested cross-validation.

Assumptions & diagnostics
  • Stationarity checks and heteroskedasticity tests.
  • Robustness via explainable AI, resampling, and  stress scenarios.

Benchmarks
  • Baselines: The NKD RBFN Asset Prediction Model; Enhanced efficient set; CAPM, GARCH(1,1), naive and local sustainability models.
  • Comparative: RBFN/Lasso/RF/, Heston variants, risk-parity, and CVaR optimization.
  • Quantilytix, South Africa's FinTech AI models.
