A novel global algorithm for optimal portfolio selection with maximum relative marginal risk via SCO method and SOCP relaxation
摘要
We consider in this paper an optimal portfolio selection with an additional objective of minimizing the maximum relative marginal risk, a novel measure of risk diversification. Its optimization model is to minimize the sum of a quadratic form and a maximum of quadratic fractional functions subject to linear constraints, which is an NP-hard non-convex and non-smooth optimization problem. First, we reformulate this non-convex optimization problem as an equivalent non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP). We then propose a successive convex optimization (SCO) algorithm for this non-convex QCQP based on the second-order cone programming (SOCP) approximation and show that it either converges to or terminates finitely to a quasi-
