This study aims to utilize the optimization framework of Markowitz and Random Immigration Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (RINSGA-II) to trace portfolio with extreme values, which are Pareto optimal. Using dataset from OR-library, this study tested the efficacy of the modified algorithm against NSGA-II. The results indicate that random immigration NSGA-II is efficient to trace the extreme values. The suggested optimization algorithm of random immigration NSGA-II replicates the efficient frontier of OR-library and gives better spread compared to NSGA-II. Finally, to our best of knowledge this is the first study to adopt random immigration NSGA-II to construct an optimized portfolio with additional constraints.

Abstract


This study aims to utilize the optimization framework of Markowitz and Random Immigration Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (RINSGA-II) to trace portfolio with extreme values, which are Pareto optimal. Using dataset from OR-library, this study tested the efficacy of the modified algorithm against NSGA-II. The results indicate that random immigration NSGA-II is efficient to trace the extreme values. The suggested optimization algorithm of random immigration NSGA-II replicates the efficient frontier of OR-library and gives better spread compared to NSGA-II. Finally, to our best of knowledge this is the first study to adopt random immigration NSGA-II to construct an optimized portfolio with additional constraints.
