Abstract

In this paper, we employ the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) to measure the portfolio risk, and propose a mean-CVaR portfolio selection model. In addition, some real-world constraints are considered. The constructed model is a non-linear discrete optimization problem and difficult to solve by the classic optimization techniques. A novel hybrid algorithm based particle swarm optimization (PSO) and artificial bee colony (ABC) is designed for this problem. The hybrid algorithm introduces the ABC operator into PSO. A numerical example is given to illustrate the modeling idea of the paper and the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid algorithm.
