short-selling prohibition has been one of the primary assumptions of markowitz mean-variance model. solving markowitz quadratic model creates investment efficient frontier by considering only two return and budget constraints. in order to develop a more realistic portfolio selection model, in this paper, a new mathematical model is developed to allow short-selling under some practical constrain...

a r t i c l e i n f o In the portfolio choice literatures and the financial market, diversification and concentration are the focus of debate of philosophers. In this paper, we develop a model of portfolio choice to integrate the diversification strategy and the concentration strategy. Our model relies on the concepts of investor sentiment and inertial thinking. The results show that: Generally...

Conventionally, portfolio selection problems are solved with quadratic or linear programming models. However, the solutions obtained by these methods are in real numbers and difficult to implement because each asset usually has its minimum transaction lot. Methods considering minimum transaction lots were developed based on some linear portfolio optimization models. However, no study has ever i...

Investing during a pandemic is very challenging. Even in these difficult times, the investor must appropriately allocate assets into his portfolio. In this article, we discuss investing stock market. We are interested creating portfolios of shares that consist financial assets. The individual methods use designed to provide an allocation funds between shares. modern portfolio theory, Markowitz ...

In this paper, a novel prediction based mean-variance (PBMV) model has been proposed, as an alternative to the conventional Markowitz mean-variance model, to solve the constrained portfolio optimization problem. In the Markowitz mean-variance model, the expected future return is taken as the mean of the past returns, which is incorrect. In the proposed model, first the expected future returns a...
