An alternative to portfolio selection problem beyond Markowitz’s: Log Optimal Growth Portfolio
Muteba Mwamba, John; Suteni, Mwambi - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2010
This paper constructs an alternative investment strategy to portfolio optimization model in the framework of the Mean … normally distributed. The traditional Mean–Variance optimization approach has only one objective, which fails to capture the … problem. The proposed optimization model which is an optimal portfolio strategy is produced for investors of various risk …
