Multi-asset portfolio skewness&kurtosis formulae
Dear Aito If you want to tackle your problem in a fully parametric way you might also consider to use the package 'ghyp'. This package provides code to fit a multivariate generalized hyperbolic distribution (or one of its many special cases) which allows for skewness and excess-kurtosis to your return series and subsequently use 'portfolio.optimize' to optimize the portfolio with respect to different risk-measures as VaR, Conditional VaR, and variance. Best regards, David L?thi

Hi everyone, I do face some difficulties trying to set up a mean-modified-VaR optimization in excel, using the SOLVER function. I use a parametric approach in calculating the MVaR and the cornish-fisher expansion to account for skewness and leptokurtosis. So far i just could not find any general formula to calculate the s&k on a portfolio level only the well known formulae for individual assets. Does anyone know how i can calculate the s&k for the portfolio that enter my MVaR measure? I would very much appreciate some advice from anyone familiar with this.. Thanks a lot!
