Portfolio Optimization Under Varying Market Regimes: A Comparative Study Using ANN Forecasts on MAI Stocks

Abstract

This paper explores the effectiveness of integrating Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based return forecasts into three portfolio optimization frameworks: Equal-Weight (EW), Mean-Variance (MV), and Black-Litterman (BL), under varying market regimes, using 67 stocks listed on Thailand’s Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) as a case study. Portfolios are constructed using ANN predictions and tested across pre-COVID stable conditions (2019) and a volatile period (2020–2024), with an additional evaluation of rebalanced portfolios on 2024 data. Results indicate that BL achieves the highest risk-adjusted returns under stable conditions, while EW outperforms significantly during high volatility, driven largely by outlier stock performance during the COVID-19 recovery. Rebalancing with updated ANN forecasts did not guarantee improved performance, highlighting both the promise and limitations of machine learning-enhanced optimization in emerging markets.
