<p>Portfolio selection is among the most challenging processes that have recently increased interest of professionals in area. The goal mean-variance portfolio to maximize expected return with minimizing risk. Markowitz model was employed solve linear problem. However, due numerous constraints and complexities, problem so critical traditional models are insufficient provide efficient solu...

In this paper, we extend the mean-variance portfolio model to explicitly account for uncertainty about the estimated expected returns and/or the underlying return-generating model. We do this by first imposing an additional constraint on the mean-variance portfolio optimization program that restricts each parameter to lie within a specified confidence interval of its estimated value, and then b...

This paper discusses the uncertain portfolio selection problem when security returns cannot be well reflected by historical data. It is proposed that uncertain variable should be used to reflect the experts’ subjective estimation of security returns. Regarding the security returns as uncertain variables, the paper introduces a risk curve and develops a mean-risk model. In addition, the crisp fo...

Organizations need to evaluate project proposals and select the ones that are the most effective in reaching the strategic goals by considering sustainability issue. In order to enhance the effectiveness and the efficiency of project oriented organizations, in this paper a new multi-objective decision making (MODM) approach of sustainable project portfolio selection is proposed which applies in...

The mean-variance model proposed by Markowitz has received greatly acceptance as a practical methodology to manage portfolio selection, and has been widely extended in a variety of literatures. The aim of this paper is to extend the mean-variance model in uncertain decision systems. We present a new mean-TVaR model for portfolio selection when the returns of securities are described as uncertai...

Finding the best way to optimize the portfolio after Markowitz's 1952 article has always been and will continue to be one of the concerns of activists in the investment management industry. Researchers have come up with different solutions to overcome this problem. The introduction of mathematical models and meta-heuristic models is one of the activities that has influenced portfolio optimizati...

This paper proposes a new practical model for project portfolio selection focusing on two issues; the first issue relates to managing uncertainty provoked by hesitant situations and the second issue relates to the interaction effect of projects on final value of portfolio. Based on the above issues, the hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (HFWA) operator is applied to aggregate the hesitant fuzzy...

s: In this paper, we define the portfolio return as fuzzy average yield and risk as hybrid-entropy and variance to deal with the portfolio selection problem with both random uncertainty and fuzzy uncertainty, and propose a mean-variance hybrid-entropy model (MVHEM). A multi-objective genetic algorithm named Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is introduced to solve the model. W...
