Abstract

Se estudia asignaciones óptimas de clases de activo (Asset Allocation) para afiliados representativos a las AFP con diferentes plazos para jubilar. Se supone que el afiliado desearía maximizar su pensión esperada al momento de jubilar, dado un nivel de riesgo. Entonces, la pregunta es qué corresponde a Asset Allocation óptimos desde una perspectiva de largo plazo, dado que el propósito de los fondos acumulados es adquirir un pensiones. Esta pregunta no es nueva, por lo que algunos de los resultados presentados aquí son aplicaciones de conceptos existentes. Pero el problema más específico de una AFP que debe optimizar una cierta cartera de activos iniciales, más una secuencia de contribuciones a la cuenta individual, desde la perspectiva de un futuro pensionado, no ha sido resuelto, al menos planteado de esta forma, lo que da origen a algunos resultados interesantes. También puede tener novedad el cambio de perspectiva: el punto de vista de un administrador de carteras de largo plazo inserto en un país “emergente†. El planteamiento del problema se resume en cambiar el numerario: tanto la rentabilidad esperada como el riesgo deben medirse en unidades de pensión futura. Esto (obviamente) implica que la moneda de referencia es la local (ajustada por inflación) y que el plazo de referencia es largo. Los instrumentos de renta fija de corto plazo son un mal hedge pues tienen baja correlación con el costo futuro de una pensión. Es de interés identificar activos que posean alta correlación con el costo de las pensiones futuras. Naturalmente, éstos corresponden principalmente a instrumentos de renta fija de largo plazo, aunque es posible que algunas clases de renta variable posean características deseables. Así, se plantea como hipótesis de trabajo que las carteras óptimas deben estar “en buena parte†constituidas por renta fija local de largo plazo ya que estos instrumentos proveen la mejor protección (hedge) existente contra variaciones adversas en el costo futuro de las pensiones. Los resultados teóricos y empíricos claramente avalan esta hipótesis, al igual que la idea de que la renta variable local tiene propiedades de protección deseables que no posee la renta variable internacional
