A computer-implemented method and computer program product for selecting a
portfolio weight (subject to specified constraints) for each of a
plurality of assets of an optimal portfolio. A mean-variance efficient
frontier is calculated based on expected return and standard deviation of
return of each of the plurality of assets. Multiple sets of optimization
inputs are drawn from a distribution of simulated optimization inputs
consistent with the expected return and standard deviation of return of
each of the assets and a specified level of forecast certainty, and then
a simulated mean-variance efficient frontier is computed for each set of
optimization inputs. A meta-resampled efficient frontier is determined as
a statistical mean of associated portfolios, and a portfolio weight is
selected for each asset according to a specified investment objective.
