1. Robust Portfolio Optimization with Correlation Penalties
University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistikAbstract : Robust portfolio optimization models attempt to address the standard optimization method's high sensitivity to noise in the parameter estimates, by taking an investor's uncertainty about the estimates into account when finding an optimal portfolio. In this thesis, we study robust variations of an extension of the mean-variance problem, where an additional term penalizing the portfolio's correlation with an exogenous return sequence is included in the objective.

3. Portfolio Optimization Problems with Cardinality Constraints
University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)Abstract : This thesis analyzes the mean variance optimization problem with respect to cardinalityconstraints. The aim of this thesis is to figure out how much of an impact transactionchanges has on the profit and risk of a portfolio. We solve the problem by implementingmixed integer programming (MIP) and solving the problem by using the Gurobi solver. READ MORE

5. Navigating the Volatility Adjustment in Solvency II : Portfolio Optimization for Balance Sheet Stability
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistikAbstract : This thesis investigates volatility adjustment from the Solvency II regulation and portfolio allocation methods for pension- and life insurance companies aiming to maintain a stable balance sheet. The volatility adjustment is a component added to the risk-free rate for discounting the present value of future liabilities, and it is calculated monthly based on the spread levels in the fixed-income market.
