Abstract

Financial portfolio optimization is a difficult problem as it deals with many variables. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is used for minimizing risk for a specific expected return. Many approaches are proposed to optimize portfolios. This paper proposes financial portfolio optimization using Monte Carlo and operation research. Results show an effective financial portfolio optimization.
