Risk-averse Reinforcement Learning for Portfolio Optimization

This investigation explores Reinforcement Learning (RL) for dynamic portfolio optimization with risk assessment. The challenges include market complexity, uncertain reactions, and regulatory requirements for risk-averse decisions. Our solution leverages Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) to capture uncertainties. We successfully implemented a risk-averse Reinforcement Learning algorithm, achieving 18 percent lower risk. Reinforcement Learning with risk-aversion shows promise for optimizing portfolios for risk-averse investors.
