Optimal portfolios can underperform more naive constructions due to parameter uncertainty and instability over time.
Correlations often increase during market crashes. Static asset allocation cannot weather a scenario like this, but tactical asset allocation can.

Return, volatility, and correlations exhibit varying degrees of stability over time. Using stable measures in portfolio construction makes it more robust.
