This paper analyses the stable distributional approach for portfolio optimisation. We consider a portfolio optimization problem under the assumption of normal (Gaussian) and stable (nonGaussian) distributed asset returns. We compare the results of portfolio allocations in normal and stable cases.

In this paper, we discuss a multiperiod portfolio selection problem with fuzzy returns. We present a new credibilitic multiperiod mean semi- absolute deviation portfolio selection with some real factors including transaction costs, borrowing constraints, entropy constraints, threshold constraints and risk control. In the proposed model, we quantify the investment return and risk associated with...

Portfolio optimization involves the optimal assignment of limited capital to different available financial assets to achieve a reasonable trade-off between profit and risk objectives. In this paper, we studied the extended Markowitz’s meanvariance portfolio optimization model. We considered the cardinality, quantity, pre-assignment and round lot constraints in the extended model. These four rea...

Selecting approaches with appropriate accuracy and suitable speed for the purpose of making decision is one of the managers’ challenges. Also investing decision is one of the main decisions of managers and it can be referred to securities transaction in financial markets which is one of the investments approaches. When some assets and barriers of real world have been considered, optimization of...

In this paper, we consider the problem of a decision maker who is concerned with the management of a portfolio over a finite horizon. The portfolio optimization problem involves portfolio rebalancing decisions in response to new information on market future prices of the risky assets. Rebalancing decisions are manifested in the revision of holdings through sales and purchases of assets. We assu...

We study the viability of different robust optimization approaches to multiperiod portfolio selection. Robust optimization models treat future asset returns as uncertain coefficients in an optimization problem, and map the level of risk aversion of the investor to the level of tolerance of the total error in asset return forecasts.We suggest robust optimization formulations of the multiperiod p...

The portfolio optimization is one of the fundamental problems in asset management that aims to reduce the risk of an investment by diversifying it into assets expected to fluctuate independently. A portfolio is a grouping of financial assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies and cash equivalents, as well as their funds counterparts, including mutual, exchange- traded and closed fun...

In this paper, a constrained mean-variance model is constructed for the portfolio optimization problems. The model is a mixed quadratic integer programming problem, and it is too hard to solve by using the traditional optimal algorithms. The purpose of this paper is to use a heuristic algorithm to solve this problem. Combined with the differential evolution strategy, a new hybrid artificial bee...

This paper deals with the issue of buy-in thresholds in portfolio optimization using the Markowitz approach. Optimal values of invested fractions calculated using, for instance, the classical minimum-risk problem can be unsatisfactory in practice because they imply that very small amounts of certain assets are purchased. Realistically, we want to impose a discrete restriction on each invested f...

– Diversification of an investment into independently fluctuating assets reduces its risk. In reality, movements of assets are mutually correlated and therefore knowledge of cross-correlations among asset price movements are of great importance. Our results support the possibility that the problem of finding an investment in stocks which exposes invested funds to a minimum level of risk is anal...
