    Keywords : Black-Litterman model; asset allocation; portfolio optimization; investor views; portfolio management; Black-Litterman model; tillgångsallokering; portföljoptimering; investerarens förväntade avkastningar; portföljförvaltning;

    Abstract : Modern portfolio theory has its attractive characteristics of promoting diversification in a portfolio and can be seen as an easy alternative for setting optimal weights for portfolio managers. Furthermore, as portfolio managers try to beat a defined benchmark for their portfolio the Black-Litterman model allows them to include their own prospects on the future return of markets and securities.

    Abstract : Despite the fact that illiquid assets pose several difficulties regarding portfolio allocation problems for investors, more investors are increasing their allocation towards them. Alternative assets are characterized as being harder to value and trade because of their illiquidity which raises the question of how they should be managed from an allocation optimization perspective.

  4. 18. Inversion of Markowitz Portfolio Optimization to Evaluate Risk

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Axel Persson; Ran Li; [2021]
    Keywords : Markowitz Portfolio Optimization; Efficient Frontier; Diversification; Asset allocation; Risk and Return; Inverse optimization; Inverse problems;

    Abstract : This project investigates the applicability of the originalversion of Markowitz’s mean-variance model for portfoliooptimization to real-world modern actively managed portfolios.The method measures the mean-variance model’s capability toaccurately capture the riskiness of given portfolios, by invertingthe mathematical formulation of the model.

  5. 19. Evaluation of a Portfolio in Dow Jones Industrial Average Optimized by Mean-Variance Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Alexander Strid; Daniel Liu; [2020]
    Keywords : applied mathematics; mean-variance analysis; modern portfolio theory; Markowitz; Dow Jones Industrial Average; quadratic optimization; portfolio optimization; tillämpad matematik; mean-variance analysis; modern portföljteori; Markowitz; Dow Jones Industrial Average; kvadratisk optimering; portföljoptimering;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the mean-variance analysis framework by comparing the performance of an optimized portfolio consisting of stocks from the Dow Jones Industrial Average to the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average index itself. The results show that the optimized portfolio performs better than the corresponding index when evaluated on the period between 2015 and 2019. READ MORE

  6. 20. An Empirical Study of Modern Portfolio Optimization
