A naïve approach to speed up portfolio optimization problem using a multiobjective genetic algorithm
2012
a b s t r a c t Genetic algorithms (GAs) are appropriate when investors have the objective of obtaining mean-variance (VaR) efficient frontier as minimising VaR leads to non-convex and non-differential risk-return optimisation problems. However GAs are a time-consuming optimisation technique. In this paper, we propose to use a naive approach consisting of using samples split by quartile of risk to obtain complete efficient frontiers in a reasonable computation time. Our results show that using reduced problems which only consider a quartile of the assets allow us to explore the efficient frontier for a large range of risk values. In particular, the third quartile allows us to obtain efficie…
STUDY REGARDING THE MARKOWITZ MODEL OF PORTFOLIO SELECTION
2015
The Markowitz model was introduced through the work of Harry Markowitz (1952) and analyzes the risk and the rentability of a diversified portfolio of securities. In our research, we want to use the Markowitz model in order to identify the structure of the optimal portfolio of risky assets, in other words the efficient portofolio. The study, conducted on three romanian companies from the construction sector, listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, leads to the conclusion that the portfolio is illegitimate, so it is necessary to sell the securities of the companies in the absence, procedure known as short sell.
