With the aim of portfolio optimization and management, this article utilizes the Clayton-copula along with copula theory measures. Portfolio-Optimization is one of the activities in investment funds. Thus, it is essential to select an appropriate optimization method. In modern financial analyses, there is growing evidence indicating the distribution of proceeds of financial properties is not cu...

Using advanced techniques of econometrics and a metaheuristic optimization approach, this study attempts to evaluate the potential advantages of international portfolio diversification for East Asian international investors when investing in the Middle Eastern emerging markets. Overall, the results of both econometric and the metaheuristic optimization methods are supporting each other. Finding...

This paper presents dynamic portfolio model based on the Merton's optimal investment-consumption model, which combines dynamic synthetic put option using risk-free and risky assets. This paper is extended version of methodological paper published by Yuan Yao (2012). Because of the long history of the development of foreign financial market, with a variety of financial derivatives, the study on ...

In this paper we develop a concrete and fully implementable approach to the optimization of functionally generated portfolios in stochastic portfolio theory. The main idea is optimize over family rank-based parameterized by an exponentially concave function on unit interval. This choice can be motivated long term stability capital distribution observed large equity markets allows us circumvent ...

This paper proposes a bacterial foraging based approach for portfolio optimization problem. We develop an improved portfolio optimization model by introducing the endogenous and exogenous liquidity risk and the corresponding indexes are designed to measure the endogenous/exogenous liquidity risk, respectively. Bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) is employed to find the optimal set of portfoli...

Financial portfolio optimization is a challenging problem. First, the problem is multiobjective (i.e.: minimize risk and maximize profit) and the objective functions are often multimodal and non smooth (e.g.: value at risk). Second, managers have often to face real-world constraints, which are typically non-linear. Hence, conventional optimization techniques, such as quadratic programming, cann...

NAG Libraries have many powerful and reliable optimizers which can be used to solve large portfolio optimization and selection problems in the financial industry. Below is an introduction into the notation and techniques used in portfolio optimization. We discuss some sample problems and present help in choosing an appropriate NAG optimizer. Finally, there is a section on handling transaction c...

In this work introduce an adaptive method of portfolio optimization. The basic idea is to describe essential movements of the stock price using a hidden Markov model and to calculate the optimal portfolio using a recursive algorithm. The portfolio optimization is adaptive in the sense that the standard EM–algorithm fits the model to historical data, which improves the portfolio performance.
