Their method is based on the managed portfolio construction technique, which makes it tractable for fund managers. The key points of this work are as follows: (i) to impose constraints on active weights against the prespecified benchmark weights, and (ii) to show empirically that the constraints stabilize and improve portfolio performance by conducting backtests.
