Abstract

Mutual funds are important financial institutes. There are several methods for performance evaluation of mutual funds such as portfolio optimization. Portfolio optimization has a basic model that has completed up to now. One of completions is adding cardinality constraint to the model. Considering cardinality in portfolio optimization model makes it an integer programming problem that solving it, is hard and makes the efficient frontier discontinuous. In current study in first stage we rank the mutual funds with VIKOR method and based on 5 characteristics- rate of return, variance, semivariance, Treynor ratio and Sharpe ratio. In second stage according to cardinality level best ranked mutual funds are chosen. A mean-semivariance portfolio optimization model is written using chosen funds. This model is solved using fuzzy technique programming and efficient frontier is obtained. Real data from NASDAQ based on 92 mutual funds are used to illustrate the effectiveness of proposed methodology. Results show that the efficient frontier obtained from our methodology is continuous and near to unconstrained efficient frontier.
