Abstract

The mathematical model of portfolio optimization is usually represented as a bicriteria optimization problem where a reasonable trade-off between expected rate of return and risk is sought. In a classical Markowitz model the risk is measured by a variance, thus resulting in a quadratic programming model. As an alternative, the MAD model was proposed where risk is measured by (mean) absolute deviation instead of a variance. The MAD model is computationally attractive, since it is transformed into an easy to solve linear programming program. In this paper we present a recursive procedure which allows to identify optimal portfolio of the MAD model depending on investor's downside risk aversion.
