On numerical solution for optimal allocation of investment funds in portfolio selection problem

Abubakar Yahaya

In this article, we present a procedure for obtaining an optimal solution to the Markowitz's mean-variance portfolio selection problem based on the analytical solution developed in a previous research that lead to the emergence of an important model known as the Black Model. The procedure is well presented, illustrated and validated by a numerical example from real stocks dataset obtainable from a popular European stock market.
