A question on Black-Litterman

<t>BL correction of the expected excess return with the following mean-variance optimisation is an open system, open, in particular, to views. Does the views horizon have to be the same as the horizon of the equilibrium returns? The same question concerns the views uncertainty: does its horizon have...

artificial cornea
