Using an Improved Surrogate Constraints Method to Financial Engineering
Get PDFapplication/pdfThis paper reports that we have succeeded in producing index-plus-alpha portfolios, that is a portfolio of stocks that would have produced a return that is a higher than a given index. The portfolio has stable ex-post facto performance, that is they are predicted to closely track a market index with an extra amount of profit. The period of time used to test the method was between 1996-1999 when active fund managers were unable to create portfolios that would exceed the market index. In order to obtain good ex-post performance of an index-plus-alpha fund, an improved surrogate constraints method is applied to data from the Tokyo stock market (NIKKEI 225) from April 1994 to March 1999
