Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portfolio selection problem is a major subject in finance where investors deal with selecting satisfying portfolio which is composed of a vast number of risky assets, under some restricting criteria that are defined by themselves. Asset prices can be effected from different events, such as political crisis, financial turmoil and technological improvements. Due to uncertainty nature of these events, it is difficult to forecast future prices of assets. However, Markowitz's Modern Portfolio Theory, which is mainly focused on portfolio risk, introduced a new idea for asset diversification in portfolio optimization. According to this approach, an investor can reduce portfolio risk simply by holding combinations of assets that are not perfectly positively correlated and also efficient portfolio can only be obtained by focusing portfolio return and risk together. In this paper, a two stage multi objective portfolio selection model is proposed for obtaining best portfolio. In the first stage, Pareto efficient portfolios are obtained by genetic algorithm with using mean and variance of assets. Then in the second stage a multi criteria decision method is applied for ranking Pareto-optimum portfolios that are obtained in previous stage. Effectiveness of criteria, such as entropy measures and higher moments are taken into consideration and also performance ratios are examined in evaluating Pareto efficient portfolios and their rankings. An illustrated example is given and results of proposed model are discussed in experimental section.

Download or read book Portfolio Optimization Using Fundamental Indicators Based on Multi Objective EA written by Antonio Daniel Silva and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a new approach to portfolio composition in the stock market. It incorporates a fundamental approach using financial ratios and technical indicators with a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms to choose the portfolio composition with two objectives the return and the risk. Two different chromosomes are used for representing different investment models with real constraints equivalents to the ones faced by managers of mutual funds, hedge funds, and pension funds. To validate the present solution two case studies are presented for the SP&500 for the period June 2010 until end of 2012. The simulations demonstrates that stock selection based on financial ratios is a combination that can be used to choose the best companies in operational terms, obtaining returns above the market average with low variances in their returns. In this case the optimizer found stocks with high return on investment in a conjunction with high rate of growth of the net income and a high profit margin. To obtain stocks with high valuation potential it is necessary to choose companies with a lower or average market capitalization, low PER, high rates of revenue growth and high operating leverage

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a comprehensive study of portfolio optimization, an important area of quantitative finance. Considering that the information available in financial markets is incomplete and that the markets are affected by vagueness and ambiguity, the monograph deals with fuzzy portfolio optimization models. At first, the book makes the reader familiar with basic concepts, including the classical mean–variance portfolio analysis. Then, it introduces advanced optimization techniques and applies them for the development of various multi-criteria portfolio optimization models in an uncertain environment. The models are developed considering both the financial and non-financial criteria of investment decision making, and the inputs from the investment experts. The utility of these models in practice is then demonstrated using numerical illustrations based on real-world data, which were collected from one of the premier stock exchanges in India. The book addresses both academics and professionals pursuing advanced research and/or engaged in practical issues in the rapidly evolving field of portfolio optimization.

Download or read book Multiobjective Optimization written by Jürgen Branke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-10-18 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiobjective optimization deals with solving problems having not only one, but multiple, often conflicting, criteria. Such problems can arise in practically every field of science, engineering and business, and the need for efficient and reliable solution methods is increasing. The task is challenging due to the fact that, instead of a single optimal solution, multiobjective optimization results in a number of solutions with different trade-offs among criteria, also known as Pareto optimal or efficient solutions. Hence, a decision maker is needed to provide additional preference information and to identify the most satisfactory solution. Depending on the paradigm used, such information may be introduced before, during, or after the optimization process. Clearly, research and application in multiobjective optimization involve expertise in optimization as well as in decision support. This state-of-the-art survey originates from the International Seminar on Practical Approaches to Multiobjective Optimization, held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in December 2006, which brought together leading experts from various contemporary multiobjective optimization fields, including evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO), multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) and multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA). This book gives a unique and detailed account of the current status of research and applications in the field of multiobjective optimization. It contains 16 chapters grouped in the following 5 thematic sections: Basics on Multiobjective Optimization; Recent Interactive and Preference-Based Approaches; Visualization of Solutions; Modelling, Implementation and Applications; and Quality Assessment, Learning, and Future Challenges.

Download or read book Multi objective Evolutionary Methods for Time changing Portfolio Optimization Problems written by Iason Hatzakis and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is focused on the discovery of efficient asset allocations with the use of evolutionary algorithms. The portfolio optimization problem is a multi-objective optimization problem for the conflicting criteria of risk and expected return. Furthermore the nonstationary nature of the market makes it a time-changing problem in which the optimal solution is likely to change as time advances. Hence the portfolio optimization problem naturally lends itself to an exploration with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for time-changing environments. Two different risk objectives are treated in this work: the established measure of standard deviation, and the Value-at-Risk. While standard deviation is convex as an objective function, historical Value-at-Risk is non-convex and often discontinuous, making it difficult to approach with most conventional optimization techniques. The value of evolutionary algorithms is demonstrated in this case by their ability to handle the Value-at-Risk objective, since they do not have any convexity or differentiability requirements. The D-QMOO time-changing evolutionary algorithm is applied to the portfolio optimization problem. Part of the philosophy behind D-QMOO is the exploitation of predictability in the optimal solution's motion. This problem however is characterized by minimal or non-existent predictability, since asset prices are hard to forecast. This encourages the development of new time-changing optimization heuristics for the efficient solution of this problem. Both the static and time-changing forms of the problem are treated and characteristic results are presented. The methodologies proposed are verified through comparison with established methods and through the performance of the produced portfolios as compared to the overall market. In general, this work demonstrates the potential for the use of evolutionary algorithms in time-changing portfolio optimization as a tool for portfolio managers and financial engineers.

Download or read book Evolutionary and Memetic Computing for Project Portfolio Selection and Scheduling written by Kyle Robert Harrison and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book consists of eight chapters, authored by distinguished researchers and practitioners, that highlight the state of the art and recent trends in addressing the project portfolio selection and scheduling problem (PPSSP) across a variety of domains, particularly defense, social programs, supply chains, and finance. Many organizations face the challenge of selecting and scheduling a subset of available projects subject to various resource and operational constraints. In the simplest scenario, the primary objective for an organization is to maximize the value added through funding and implementing a portfolio of projects, subject to the available budget. However, there are other major difficulties that are often associated with this problem such as qualitative project benefits, multiple conflicting objectives, complex project interdependencies, workforce and manufacturing constraints, and deep uncertainty regarding project costs, benefits, and completion times. It is well known that the PPSSP is an NP-hard problem and, thus, there is no known polynomial-time algorithm for this problem. Despite the complexity associated with solving the PPSSP, many traditional approaches to this problem make use of exact solvers. While exact solvers provide definitive optimal solutions, they quickly become prohibitively expensive in terms of computation time when the problem size is increased. In contrast, evolutionary and memetic computing afford the capability for autonomous heuristic approaches and expert knowledge to be combined and thereby provide an efficient means for high-quality approximation solutions to be attained. As such, these approaches can provide near real-time decision support information for portfolio design that can be used to augment and improve existing human-centric strategic decision-making processes. This edited book provides the reader with a broad overview of the PPSSP, its associated challenges, and approaches to addressing the problem using evolutionary and memetic computing.
