Abstract

This paper introduces the Discrete Hilbert Transform (DHT) as a tool for enhancing risk diversification in portfolio construction. DHT, a mathematical technique typically used in signal processing, is applied to financial data to identify dynamic market signals. By analyzing asset returns through the frequency domain, DHT enables investors to detect hidden risks that traditional models might overlook. This research compares portfolios constructed using DHT with those optimized via the conventional Mean-Variance method. The findings demonstrate that DHT-based portfolios provide better risk-adjusted returns, reduced volatility, and improved resilience during market fluctuations. The use of DHT allows for more adaptive and responsive portfolio adjustments, particularly in volatile conditions. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on applying advanced mathematical models to finance, offering practical insights for portfolio managers seeking to optimize risk diversification.
