Abstract

Portfolio optimization is one of the most common and essential technique in measuring the plausibility of the designated combinations of the assets. Optimal Portfolio are well diversified to decrease the non-price risk and the unsystematic risk of the assets, which maximizes the returns of the stocks and protects the investors from the underperformances of certain assets. This paper engages in portfolio optimization through the asset allocation for different types of equities: Exchange-traded funds (ETF), mutual funds and stocks. First, there are five assets chosen from the market and their closed price are elicited as their daily returns. Second, using Fama–French 3 factor model (FF3F), the researchers can calculate the expected returns and possible risks of the portfolio. Third, they then utilize the built-in Solver function in Excel to generate a maximum value for the Sharpe ratio by putting various weights on different assets in that portfolio.
