Selecting the optimal Markowitz portfolio depends on estimating the covariance matrix of the returns ofNassets fromTperiods of historical data. Problematically,Nis typically of the same order asT, which makes the sample covariance matrix estimator perform poorly, both empirically and theoretically. While various other general-purpose covariance matrix estimators have been introduced in the financial economics and statistics literature for dealing with the high dimensionality of this problem, we here propose an estimator that exploits the fact that assets are typically positively dependent. This is achieved by imposing that the joint distribution of returns bemultivariate totally positive of order 2(). This constraint on the covariance matrix not only enforces positive dependence among the assets but also regularizes the covariance matrix, leading to desirable statistical properties such as sparsity. Based on stock market data spanning 30 years, we show that estimating the covariance matrix underoutperforms previous state-of-the-art methods including shrinkage estimators and factor models.
