Selecting a discrete portfolio

Abstract

We study the problem of selecting an optimal portfolio out of a finite set of available assets. Assets are characterized by their expected returns and the covariance matrix, and investors are assumed to have a mean–variance utility, that is, their utility function is linear in the mean and variance of the portfolio they hold.
