A comparative study of optimal portfolio construction methods

This project aims to conduct a comparative analysis of portfolio performance using various models with different portfolio constraints in an optimization framework that is a modified version of the classical Markovitz mean-variance optimization model. Despite the breakthrough of the Markovitz mean-variance optimization model, its empirical implementation produces extreme portfolio weights and poor real-time performance. The goal of this project is to identify and design models and constraints that can both satisfy clients’ demands and be robust to parameter estimation error.
