CASE STUDY SUMMARYThis case study demonstrates an Omega optimization setup for a portfolio optimization problem. A fund of funds blends the risk-return profiles of various hedge fund managers/strategies to meet investor requirements. The data for this case study are prepared with the Converter_Omega_Portfolio. To install this converter you should download installation file Converter_Omega_Portfolio_setup.zip in the Client Area () from the Download page by selecting the "Case Studies" downloading option.
