[R-SIG-Finance] 130/30 Portfolio Optimization

[Christian Prinoth]

A few days ago I have posted a link to a paper describing techniques to
do what you want with solve.QP. Please search in the archive, I do not
have the link handy right now.

Subject: [R-SIG-Finance] 130/30 Portfolio Optimization

Hi All,

Does anybody have an idea as to how one would find an optimal 130/30
portfolio using R?

More specifically, for a given return covariance matrix Q, vector of
expected security returns mu, and risk tolerance tau, the problem is to
find the portfolio vector x that minimizes

x' * Q * x - tau * mu' * x

subject to the following constraints:
 A * x = b for given constraint matrix A and vector b,  x >= L,  x <= U,
the sum of the positive elements of x is 1.3,  the sum of the negative
elements of x is -0.3,

If not for the last two nonlinear constraints, solve.QP in
library(quadprog) would be applicable.  Unfortunately, these two
constraints are central to the problem.

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Shlomo.
