Abstract Text Portfolio drawdowns are defined informally as the loss with re-spect to the most recent peak. In this book we study the optimiz-ation of portfolios for drawdown risk. We optimize portfolios non-parametrically via linear programs and via general numerical optim-ization for bootstrap samples to achieve robust portfolios. Theoretic-ally, we establish the foundation of a parameteric model to optimize for drawdown risk for geometric Brownian motions.
