similar to: Optimal Asset Allocation with a specific level of Target Risk

Summer Internship at ETH Zurich "Dynamic Portfolio Asset Allocation" We offer a 3-months internship starting midth July 2008. The topic addresses "Dynamic Portfolio Asset Allocation" including alternative instruments and hedge funds. The goal will be to compare the robust mean-variance, the lower partial moment and the conditional value-at-risk approaches for portfolio

Hello. I don't understand a particular output of portfolio.optim (tseries). I have 4 assets and the portfolio.optim returns an asset with weight equals to zero. If I do a portfolio.optim with 3 assets, without the asset with weight equals to zero, it returns a completely different result. That's I would expected the same weights as the run with 4 assets. Below the code. Thanks in

Hello everybody, I'm running into an issue with the fPortfolio package. 1. What I want: Calculate the minimum-variance portfolio on 20 assets with respect to the following constraints: - min weight per asset = 0% (i.e. no short-selling) - max weight per asset = 10% - min sum of asset weights = 100% (i.e. fully invested) - max sum of asset weights = 100% (i.e. no leverage) 2. What I

Dear All, I am using package fPortfolio to run minimum variance portfolio optimizations in R. I already know how to set portfolioSpecs, portfolio objects and constraints. Unfortunately I am not able to set the following type of constraints. I have a timeSeries object with returns data for roughly 1.5k assets for 261 subperiods (workingdays) and want to compute the global minimum variance

Hello everyone, I have been spending many hours on a seemingly simple portfolio optimization problem using the package fPortfolio. My optimization problem is slightly different than a standard one such that I have a known set of asset returns. My problem is how to collect this information into my functions and pass them onto the optimization function. I have written my own covariance estimation

Could anyone help me with some little problem? When I plot the frontier I get the following message: *"Error in dimnames(x) <- dn : length of 'dimnames' [1] not equal to array extent"*(see below for detail). How could I solve this. Thanks a lot. ##---------------------------- Portfolio construction & Optimisation------------------------ #Assets: LUTAX,

Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux and using the fPortfolio package, I am having trouble specifying a sector constraint. One of the constraints to be imposed is that assets 1 and 2 together account for no more than 13.63% of the portfolio. My attempt at coding that constraint, "maxsumW[1:2Assets]=13.63" fails. The relevant section of my code file and the resulting error

I use these codes to get the returns of my simulated portfolio but, I can not get returns as the non-numeric argument to binary operator problem in stoc thank you guys first. library(quantmod)library(quadprog)library(stockPortfolio)library(fPortfolio)library(tseries)source("efficientFrontierFunction.r") myenv <- new.env()##Calculate the mean and sd of the monthly returns of each

Hello, I would like to do a portfolio optimization in R and I tried to use the function in "fPortfolio", but it appears there does not exist such function. Could anyone give me some advice?

Full_Name: Ansgar Steland Version: 0.90.0 OS: Linux 6.1 FreeBSD 3.2 Submission from: (NULL) (62.104.196.10) Dear R Team, Yesterday I downloaded R 0.90.0 and the current versions of some packages (tseries, quadprog,...). I had no problems to build the program using FreeBSD 3.2 and SuSe Linux 6.1. I also re-build all packages required by tseries. I checked out portfolio.optim (package:

Hello. I am trying to use the portfolio backtesting function in fPortfolio package, but I don't now why in my version of fPortfolio I don't have either the portfolioBactest nor the portfolioBacktesting functions. Does anybody knows what might be going on? thank you Felipe Parra [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I'm trying to implement something similar to the following R snippet using C. I seem to have hit the wall on accessing class slots using C. library(fPortfolio) lppData <- 100 * LPP2005.RET[, 1:6] ewSpec <- portfolioSpec() nAssets <- ncol(lppData) setWeights(ewSpec) <- rep(1/nAssets, times = nAssets) ewPortfolio <- feasiblePortfolio( data = lppData, spec = ewSpec,

Hello, After installing and loading the package "portfolio", I tried to run the example code provided, and it would not run. this is the link: http://rss.acs.unt.edu/Rdoc/library/tseries/html/portfolio.optim.html this is the example code, as found at the link: x <- rnorm(1000) dim(x) <- c(500,2) res <- portfolio.optim(x) res$pw the error I get is: Error: could not find

Hello, I have a problem with fPortfolio recently. I am using below code: Data = read.table("hf.txt",header = TRUE,sep = "") Data = Data[, c("CA", "SS", "EM", "EMN", "ED", "DS", "MS", "RA", "FIA", "GM", "LSE", "MF", "SP500", "NASDAQ",

Fritz just put the updated tseries package to CRAN. I mainly removed (and corrected) code such that tseries fits together with package ts. New code is White's and Teraesvirta's tests for neglected non-linearity (also for the regression case).

Hello, I have some simulations of financial data, I have 17 variables simulated 1000 times to three horizons. I am tring to plot the efficient frontier which I already obtained using th fPortfolio package. I am using the following commands: Data=timeSeries(X[1,,]) lppSpec <- portfolioSpec() longFrontier <- portfolioFrontier(Data, lppSpec) plot(longFrontier) Selección: 1 Error en

Hi - First posting here. I am using fPortfolio to try and optimize a simple portfolio consisting of 5 daily return series. I want to maximize return subject to setTargetRisk(myspec)=0.08 using only constraints="LongOnly" I can run feasiblePortfolio() using a spec file that specifies the weights, and it works fine. When I run maxreturnPortfolio(mydata,myspec,"LongOnly"),

Hi, I got some problem to drop a mail while using Nabble account, therefore sending it again there. My query is following : Hi all, My question is not directly R related but rather a finance related question. Therefore I was wondering wheher I find a reliable answer here. Here I wanted to calculate VaR for basis (spot-future). There could be two approaches : 1: Assuming basis as a portfolio of

Hello everybody, I'm a beginner in R, and I'm currently working on Tseries (analysis of a portfolio) I imported the data like this (library tseries) : X<-read.ts("X.dat", start=c(1995,1), frequency=261, header=T, sep=";") There is a header which contains the names of each column (codes of shares) I'd like to know if it is possible to get the names of the
