Scientific Foundation: Entropy vs. Volatility

Why information-theoretic risk measures outperform standard deviation in modern multi-asset portfolios

The Limits of Volatility

Standard deviation assumes Gaussian returns and symmetric risk — both systematically violated in financial markets.

  • Non-normality: Returns exhibit excess kurtosis and negative skewness (Mandelbrot, 1963; Fama, 1965) — variance is blind to this.
  • Asymmetry blindness: Variance penalises upside and downside equally — inconsistent with investor preferences (Kahneman & Tversky, 1979).
  • Backward-looking: Realised volatility rises after a crisis. Entropy detects stress before it appears in second-moment statistics (Gradojevic & Caric, 2017).
  • Regime-blind: Vol cannot distinguish a calm trending phase from a pre-crisis accumulation with similar vol but very different risk profiles.

Shannon Entropy as Risk Measure

First formalised by Claude Shannon (1948), entropy captures the full informational complexity of any distribution:

H(X) = − Σ pᵢ · log₂(pᵢ)
  • Distribution-free: Valid under fat tails, bimodality and regime switches — no Gaussian assumption (Scrucca, 2024).
  • Tail-sensitive: Rényi entropy calibrates explicitly to tail behaviour (Lassance & Vrins, 2019).
  • Early warning: Identified every major crisis 1998–2026: Dot-com, GFC, COVID, 2025 tariff shock (Fernandez-Mejia et al., 2025).
  • Predictive power: Twice the cross-sectional return explanatory power of CAPM beta (PLOS ONE, 2015).
