A Novel Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm for the Portfolio Optimization

In this paper we propose a new implementation of a multi objective genetic algorithm that handles constrained problems to approach the financial problem of the portfolio optimization. The objective of the paper is to propose and empirically apply a new multi-objective genetic algorithm for portfolio optimization extending the Markowitz mean-variance model ([1,2] Markowitz, 1952 and 1959). At the end of the paper the obtained results are discussed and compared with non linear other different techniques.
