Scientific Foundation: Entropy vs. Volatility

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

The Limits of Volatility

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

  • Non-normality: Equity 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 crash. Entropy detects distributional stress before it materialises in second-moment statistics (Gradojevic & Caric, 2017).
  • Regime-blind: Vol cannot distinguish a calm trending market from a pre-crash accumulation phase with similar vol but very different tail risk.

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 equity crash 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).
