Portfolio Optimization
Portfolio Optimization uses Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) to identify efficient portfolios of stocks, mutual funds, and ETF's with the minimum level of risk for a specified portfolio return. It plots the efficient frontier graph and selects high-momentum securities that will substantially increase portfolio returns. (For example, PO increased the annualized five-year return of the S&P 500 index from 2% to 13%.) PO has built-in databases for the annual percent re- turns for the last 10 years for all the stocks in AAII's Stock Investor Pro and all the mutual funds and indexes in AAII's Quarterly Mutual Fund Update.
