We generalize the worst-case portfolio approach of Korn & Wilmott (2002) to a multi-asset setting. The nonuniqueness of indifference strategies results in a much more complicated portfolio optimization problem as in the single risky asset framework. To determine the worst-case optimal portfolio processes we develop two new approaches, a Lagrangian multiplier approach in the log-utility case and a combined constrained HJB equation and indifference strategy approach for dealing with power-utility functions. Various examples illustrate remarkable effects and differences compared to the single risky asset setting, in particular the possibility for using some stocks for crash hedging and thereby allowing stock investment possibilities that are not present in the single-stock case.

A common issue in the Multi-Objective Portfolio Optimization Problem (MOPOP) is the presence of uncertainty that affects individual decisions, e.g., variations on resources or benefits of projects. Fuzzy numbers are successful in dealing with imprecise numerical quantities, and they found numerous applications in optimization. However, so far, they have not been used to tackle uncertainty in MOPOP. Hence, this work proposes to tackle MOPOP’s uncertainty with a new optimization model based on fuzzy trapezoidal parameters. Additionally, it proposes three novel steady-state algorithms as the model’s solution process. One approach integrates the Fuzzy Adaptive Multi-objective Evolutionary (FAME) methodology; the other two apply the Non-Dominated Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) methodology. One steady-state algorithm uses the Spatial Spread Deviation as a density estimator to improve the Pareto fronts’ distribution. This research work’s final contribution is developing a new defuzzification mapping that allows measuring algorithms’ performance using widely known metrics. The results show a significant difference in performance favoring the proposed steady-state algorithm based on the FAME methodology.
