contents In this paper, we present an integrated approach to portfolio construction and optimization, leveraging high-performance computing capabilities. We first explore diverse pairings of generative model forecasts and objective functions used for portfolio optimization, which are evaluated using performance-attribution models based on LASSO. We illustrate our approach using extensive simulations of crypto-currency portfolios, and we show that the portfolios constructed using the vine-copula generative model and the Sharpe-ratio objective function consistently outperform. To accommodate a wide array of investment strategies, we further investigate portfolio blending and propose a general framework for evaluating and combining investment strategies. We employ an extension of the multi-armed bandit framework and use value models and policy models to construct eclectic blended portfolios based on past performance. We consider similarity and optimality measures for value models and employ probability-matching ("blending") and a greedy algorithm ("switching") for policy models. The eclectic portfolios are also evaluated using LASSO models. We show that the value model utilizing cosine similarity and logit optimality consistently delivers robust superior performances. The extent of outperformance by eclectic portfolios over their benchmarks significantly surpasses that achieved by individual generative model-based portfolios over their respective benchmarks.
