It finally shows you all mean-variance efficient portfolios that you can choose from, based on your risk aversion. For every possible risk, it gives the highest return and best asset allocation.
Note:
Note:
- The list is pre-canned 100 stocks of S&P 100 list. The returns shown were historic 10 yr monthly returns (Jan1998 to Dec2008).
- The optimization for mean variance frontier subject to constraints had been performed using Lagrange Multipiers and differential calculus.
- Discovering the market portfolio of chosen risk-assets was done using linear algebra involving matrix calc.
The next phase of it will include more complex and sophisticated extensions like black-litterman and Treynor-Black models.
