Markowitz (1952, 1959) laid down the ground-breaking work on the mean-variance analysis. Under his framework, the theoretical optimal allocation vector can be very different from the estimated one for large portfolios due to the intrinsic…

We study cubic cardinality-constrained portfolio optimization, a higher-order extension of the standard Markowitz formulation where three-way sector co-movement terms augment the quadratic risk-return objective. Classical heuristics like…

Portfolio optimisation is a multi-objective optimisation problem (MOP), where an investor aims to optimise the conflicting criteria of maximising a portfolio's expected return whilst minimising its risk and other costs. However, selecting a…

Multi-objective portfolio optimisation is a critical problem researched across various fields of study as it achieves the objective of maximising the expected return while minimising the risk of a given portfolio at the same time. However,…
