The portfolios are to be composed from a universe of c02-math-0001 securities with returns at time c02-math-0002 given by c02-math-0003, c02-math-0004, and assumed to be stationary. We denote by c02-math-0005 the c02-math-0006 vector of the expected returns of the different assets, and by c02-math-0007 the covariance matrix of the returns (c02-math-0008 is the transpose of ).

A portfolio is characterized by a vector of weights , where is the amount ...
