Descrierea cursului

This course builds on the fundamental concepts from Introduction to Portfolio Analysis in R and explores advanced concepts in the portfolio optimization process. It is critical for an analyst or portfolio manager to understand all aspects of the portfolio optimization problem to make informed decisions. In this course, you will learn a quantitative approach to apply the principles of modern portfolio theory to specify a portfolio, define constraints and objectives, solve the problem, and analyze the results. This course will use the R package PortfolioAnalytics to solve portfolio optimization problems with complex constraints and objectives that mirror real world problems.
