In addition, portfolio managers often use multifactor stock models to choose stocks based upon their respective fundamental data.We use multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) to satisfy the above real-world constraints. The portfolios generated consistently outperform typical performance benchmarks and have statistically significant asset selection.TOPICS: Portfolio theory, portfolio construction, statistical methods}, issn = {1068-0896}, URL = {https://joi.pm-research.com/content/21/1/60}, eprint = {https://joi.pm-research.com/content/21/1/60.full.pdf}, journal = {The Journal of Investing} }
