Abstract

In this paper we propose multicriteria credibilistic framework for portfolio rebalancing (adjusting) problem with fuzzy parameters considering return, risk and liquidity as key financial criteria. The portfolio risk is characterized by a risk curve that represents each likely loss of the portfolio return and the corresponding chance of its occurrence rather than a single pre-set level of the loss. Furthermore, we consider an investment market scenario where, at the end of a typical time period, the investor would like to modify his existing portfolio by buying and/or selling assets in response to changing market conditions. We assume that the investor pays transaction costs based on incremental discount schemes associated with the buying and/or selling of assets, which are adjusted in the net return of the portfolio. A hybrid intelligent algorithm that integrates fuzzy simulation with a real-coded genetic algorithm is developed to solve the portfolio rebalancing (adjusting) problem. The proposed solution approach is useful particularly for the cases where fuzzy parameters of the problem are characterized by general functional forms.
