A regime-switching decision support system for dynamic portfolio optimization
摘要
We present a regime-switching decision support system (DSS) for dynamic portfolio construction that links market data with investor-specific return goals through four transparent modules. In Module 1 (Data acquisition & features), monthly market signals (e.g., SPX returns, VIX, 10-year yield, and relative volume) are standardized into a market-state feature vector. In Module 2 (Market-state estimation), an unsupervised clustering model fitted on multi-decade history yields interpretable regimes, and a supervised classifier maps features to months-ahead regime probabilities. In Module 3 (User-specific layer), a static risk profile and a goal-tracking rule combine the forecast with a user-defined annual return target to produce a discrete risk level
