BLU Portfolio Allocation

 

The optimisation methodology permits the portfolio allocation to be evaluated with inputs such as:

  • Concentration limits
  • Maximum daily portfolio
  • Volatility
  • Maximum absolute drawdown

The user provides these inputs and by using different statistical approaches, model portfolios can be generated. These inputs take account of the qualitative assessments of the user.

Every trade is assessed and monitored for its return volatility, maximum drawdown and probability of a drawdown and is sized based upon a maximum portfolio drawdown limit over a pre-defined time horizon.

The system is developed under Matlab © and is also utilizing publicly known Statistical and numerical methods. The application has an Excel Interface module to facilitate the use and manipulation of input and output data.
