ABSTRACT:
The Modern portfolio theory of Markowitz (1952) proposed maximisation of expected utility and minimisation of the risk of the optimal portfolio for the risk-averse investors. We used the linear programming technique to estimate the optimal portfolio weights for the mean-variance efficient optimal portfolio using rebalanced and non-rebalanced portfolios and compared the performances against the 1/N heuristic portfolio. We found that the minimum-variance optimal portfolio performed better than the 1/N heuristic portfolio.
