Description

The Large-Scale Optimizer™ is a collaborative creation by Michael Best, who is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo, and Jivendra Kale, the President of Financiometrics Inc. This remarkable quadratic optimizer is designed for the swift construction of long-only, long-short, and market-neutral portfolios that can encompass thousands of assets, allowing for effective risk management in relation to a standard or benchmark portfolio. Additionally, it serves as a tool for asset allocation that employs Markowitz mean-variance analysis principles. This version of the Large-Scale Optimizer™ is an unrestricted edition that can be acquired either as an application or as a subroutine library that can be integrated into your software. Utilizing an advanced active set method, which has been further refined through the implementation of penalty function techniques, the Large-Scale Optimizer™ achieves significant speed enhancements to ensure the attainment of a true global optimal solution for extensive, real-world portfolio optimization challenges, even when variable transaction costs are present. This unique capability makes it an essential tool for financial analysts and portfolio managers seeking to optimize their investment strategies efficiently.
