Abstract

Two strategies are devised to maximize the Sharpe ratio of a portfolio
consisting of 35 risky assets. The first one uses periodically updated optimal weights from standard Markowitz/Sharpe portfolio theory. The second strategy removes a fixed number of assets that have highest positive correlation with the rest of the portfolio. Both approaches perform better (have larger Sharpe ratio) than the existing strategies.
