Enterprise investment decision-making should not only consider investment profits, but also investment risks, which is a complex nonlinear multi-objective optimization problem. However, traditional investment decisions often only consider profit as a goal, resulting in an incorrect decision. Facing the high complexity of investment decision-making space, traditional multi-objective optimization methods pay too much attention to global search ability because of pursuing convergence speed and avoiding falling into local optimum, while local search ability is insufficient, which makes it difficult to converge to the Pareto optimal boundary. To solve this problem, an improved SPEA2 algorithm is proposed to optimize the multi-objective decision-making of investment. In the improved method, an external archive set is set up separately for local search after genetic operation, which guarantees the global search ability and also has strong local search ability. At the same time, the new crossover operator and individual update strategy are used to further improve the convergence ability of the algorithm while maintaining a strong diversity of the population. The experimental results show that the improved method can converge to the Pareto optimal boundary and improve the convergence speed, which can effectively realize the multi-objective decision-making of investment.
