A Risk-Minimizing Model Under Uncertainty in Portfolio

A risk-minimizing portfolio model under uncertainty is discussed. In the uncertainty model, the randomness and fuzziness are evaluated respectively by the probabilistic expectation and mean values with evaluation weights and i¾?-mean functions. The means, variances and the measurements of fuzziness for fuzzy numbers/fuzzy random variables are applied in the possibility case and the necessity case, and a risk estimation is derived from both random factors and fuzzy factors in the model. By quadratic programming approach, we derive a solution of the risk-minimizing portfolio problem. It is shown that the solution is a tangency portfolio. A numerical example is given to illustrate our idea.
