Abstract

Choosing the right investment vehicle is one of the main tasks facing any investor. No investor knows exactly whether their expectations regarding the return on particular equity will be met, but they need to build their strategy in such a way as to eliminate the damage as much as possible. The creation of a universal investment vehicle could facilitate the activities of many investors, but it does not exist, and it seems impossible thus far to build a unified model that covers the whole variety of factors. The purpose of this article is to analyze models and algorithms for constructing an effective investment portfolio. A large number of portfolios were generated using Python. For each of them, the total expected return and the total risk of the portfolio were calculated. Two portfolios, a maximum Sharpe ratio portfolio and a minimum risk portfolio have been constructed. When forming a portfolio, an investor adheres to several fundamental principles: to achieve an optimal ratio of return and risk of assets in the portfolio, to diversify the investment portfolio and ensure its management. The goals of creating an investment portfolio can be different: generate revenue, save money, or maintain liquidity. This article presents the main algorithms for constructing an investment portfolio. #COMESYSO1120.
