Entropy and Optimization of Portfolios

Statistical Finance 2014-09-25 v1

Abstract

We briefly review the approach to optimization of portfolios according to the theory of Markowitz and propose a further modification that can improve the outcome of the optimization process. The modification takes account of the entropic contribution from the time series used to compute the parameters in the Markowitz method.
