Asset portfolio optimization using support vector machines and real-coded genetic algorithm

This paper presents an integrated approach for portfolio selection in a multicriteria decision making framework. Firstly, we use Support Vector Machines for classifying financial assets in three pre-defined classes, based on their performance on some key financial criteria. Next, we employ Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm to solve a mathematical model of the multicriteria portfolio selection problem in the respective classes incorporating investor-preferences.
