The objective of our research is to build a statistical test that can evaluate different risks of a portfolio selection model with fuzzy data. The central points and radiuses of fuzzy numbers are used to determine the portfolio selection model, and we statistically evaluate the best return by a fuzzy statistical test. Empirical studies are presented to illustrate the risk evaluation of the port...

This work aims the development of an enhanced portfolio selection method, which is based on the classical portfolio theory proposed by Markowitz (1952) and incorporates the local Gaussian correlation model for optimization. This novel method of portfolio selection incorporates two assumptions: the non-linearity of returns and the empirical observation that the relation between assets is dynamic...

This paper presents two meta-heuristic algorithms to solve an extended portfolio selection model. The extended model is based on the Markowitz's Model, aiming to minimize investment risk in a specified level of return. In order to get the Markowitz model close to the real conditions, different constraints were embedded on the model which resulted in a discrete and non-convex solution space. ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a portfolio selection problem with fuzzy return rates. A possibilistic mean VaR model was proposed for portfolio selection. Specially, we present a mathematical programming model with possibilistic constraint. The possibilistic programming problem can be solved by transforming it into a linear programming problem. A numerical example is given to illustrate the be...

The portfolio selection problem is usually considered as a bicriteria optimization problem where a reasonable trade-off between expected rate of return and risk is sought. In the classical Markowitz model the risk is measured with variance, thus generating a quadratic programming model. The Markowitz model is frequently criticized as not consistent with axiomatic models of preferences for choic...

491 Abstract— In this paper, we offer a new strategic portfolio model for national IT R&D project selection in Korea. A risk and return (R-R) portfolio model was developed using an objectively quantified index on the two axes of risk and return, in order to select a strategic project and allocate resources in compliance with a national IT R&D strategy. We strategize using the R-R portfolio mode...

This paper provides a methodological framework in which the problem of IT project portfolio selection is solved by balancing between operational and strategic IT investments. From interviews with CIOs, we found that the interest in IT projects in many firms tends to center on operational benefits, rather than strategic benefits. We examined the impact of strategic IT investments from an IT port...

In the science of operation research and decision theory, selection is the most important process. Selection is a process that studies multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, related to the science of management, which are mostly incompatible with each other. The multi criteria selection of a renewable energy portfolio is one of the main issues considered in multi criteria literatur...

This paper will investigate the optimum portfolio for an investor, taking into account 5 criteria. The mean variance model of portfolio optimization that was introduced by Markowitz includes two objective functions; these two criteria, risk and return do not encompass all of the information about investment; information like annual dividends, S&P star ranking and return in later years which is ...

On the basis of Markowitz mean-variance framework, a new optimal portfolio selection approach is presented. The portfolio selection model proposed in the approach includes the expected return, the risk, and especially a quadratic type transaction cost of a portfolio. Using this model may yield an optimal portfolio solution that maximizes return, and minimizes risk, as well as also minimizes tra...
