We have already mentioned in section
the possibility
for
having negative eigen-values and hence admitting the existence of
portfolios for which the forecast variance of assets is negative. This is clearly
a pathological situation that requires to be addressed. Below we present a
preliminary framework for addressing all of the above problems which also serves
to partially address the problem of negative variance.
