Вивчайте Portfolio Optimization with Constraints | Risk Analysis and Portfolio Optimization

Portfolio optimization is a fundamental task in financial analysis, aiming to allocate investments across different assets to achieve the best possible balance between expected return and risk. The concept of the efficient frontier is central to this process. It represents the set of optimal portfolios that offer the highest expected return for a specific level of risk. Constraints play a crucial role in portfolio optimization. Common constraints include prohibiting short selling (no negative asset weights) and requiring full investment (the sum of all asset weights equals one). These constraints ensure that the resulting portfolio is practical and aligns with real-world investment policies.

# Simulated expected returns and covariance matrix for three assets

    [0.005, -0.010, 0.004],

def portfolio_stats(weights, returns, cov):
    port_return = np.dot(weights, returns)
    port_volatility = np.sqrt(np.dot(weights.T, np.dot(cov, weights)))
    return port_return, port_volatility

def objective(weights, returns, cov):
    # Minimize negative Sharpe ratio (assume risk-free rate = 0 for simplicity)
    port_return, port_volatility = portfolio_stats(weights, returns, cov)
    return -port_return / port_volatility

constraints = (
    {'type': 'eq', 'fun': lambda x: np.sum(x) - 1},  # Full investment
)
bounds = tuple((0, 1) for _ in assets)  # No short selling

initial_guess = np.array([1/3, 1/3, 1/3])

result = minimize(
    objective,
    initial_guess,
    args=(expected_returns, cov_matrix),
    method='SLSQP',
    bounds=bounds,
    constraints=constraints
)

optimal_weights = result.x
optimal_port_return, optimal_port_volatility = portfolio_stats(optimal_weights, expected_returns, cov_matrix)

print("Optimal Weights:")
for asset, weight in zip(assets, optimal_weights):
    print(f"{asset}: {weight:.2%}")
print(f"Expected Portfolio Return: {optimal_port_return:.2%}")
print(f"Portfolio Volatility: {optimal_port_volatility:.2%}")

In this optimization process, you set up a mean-variance optimization for three assets by defining their expected returns and covariance matrix. The objective is to maximize the Sharpe ratio, which balances return against risk. The constraints ensure that the sum of the asset weights equals one (full investment) and that each weight is between zero and one (no short selling). The optimization algorithm searches for the combination of asset weights that yields the highest expected return for the lowest risk, given these constraints. The resulting optimal weights tell you how much of your portfolio to allocate to each asset. Interpreting these weights helps you decide on a practical investment strategy that aligns with your risk preferences and investment policy.
