We develop the idea of using Monte Carlo sampling of random portfolios to solve portfolio investment problems. In this first paper we explore the need for more general optimization tools, and consider the means by which constrained random portfolios may be generated. A practical scheme for the...

Portfolio implementation is an essential part of active investment strategies. The trading horizon-the length of time allocated for trade implementation, is an important consideration in portfolio trading. Previous research on optimal trading limits the trading horizon as a fixed value. In this...

We study the investment behaviour of a producer maximizing the present value of his firm over an infinite time horizon and having investments bounded below by zero (irreversibility of capital) and bounded above by his current profit (capital market imperfections). In our model the interest rate,...
