Advanced Portfolio Optimization: A Cutting-edge Quantitative Approach by Dany Cajas – Hardcover (ISBN: 9783031843037)

By Dany Cajas

Advanced Portfolio Optimization: A Cutting-edge Quantitative Approach by Dany Cajas is a modern quantitative finance reference focused on advanced methods for building, testing, and improving investment portfolios. Published by Springer, this book goes beyond traditional mean-variance optimization by integrating convex optimization, machine learning, risk measures, parameter estimation, robust optimization, graph-based methods, synthetic data generation, backtesting, transaction costs, and practical Python implementation.

Designed for quantitative finance programs, financial engineering courses, asset management teams, portfolio managers, risk analysts, quants, data scientists, hedge funds, investment research groups, business schools, university libraries, and institutional procurement teams, this book supports advanced learning and applied practice in portfolio construction, risk modeling, multi-asset allocation, machine learning finance, and systematic investment strategy design.

What This Book Does

This book teaches readers how to move from classical portfolio theory toward more advanced quantitative portfolio optimization methods. It explains how to estimate inputs, model dependence, optimize return-risk tradeoffs, incorporate real-world constraints, use convex and robust optimization, apply hierarchical clustering and graph theory, generate synthetic datasets, and evaluate investment strategies through structured backtesting workflows.
