Fuzzy portfolio selection based on the analysis of efficient frontiers

We present an algorithm for analyzing the geometry of the efficient frontier of the portfolio selection problem with semicontinuous variable and cardinality constraints, and use it as a basis to solve a fuzzy version of the problem, designed to obtain efficient portfolios, in the Markowitz´s sense, for which the trade-off between expected return and assumed risk fits better the investor´s subjective criteria. We illustrate our proposal with an example solved with LINGO and Mathematica.
