Özet

One of the critical issues in financial management is investment decision-making, and one of the main objectives of investment management is optimal stock portfolio selection. For this reason, there are various criteria and methods for selecting the optimal stock portfolio in the literature. This article uses data from 6 companies (Amazon, Yahoo, Microsoft, IBM, Apple, and Google) in the one-month period from January 2014 to November 2014 and first calculates the return on investment and investment risk. The investment is calculated by 4 classical methods (mean-variance, mean-half variance, mean absolute deviation, conditional value at risk). As a result of these calculations, the maximum return on investment (0.0142) for each of the classical methods, and 0.05706, 0.028409, 0.028871, and 0.032995 with Risk, respectively, were calculated. Then, meta-heuristic methods (PSO, NSGA-II) were used for the optimal selection of the portfolio. As a result of the calculations, it is seen that the NSGA-II meta-heuristic algorithm has a lower risk of achieving the highest return on investment.
