Abstract Investment is an allocation of money, stocks, mutual funds, or other valuable resources provided by someone at the present time and held from being used until a specified period to get a profit . The higher the return received, the higher the risk. This study studied the Mean-Variance investment portfolio optimization model without risk-free assets to obtain the optimum Five shares are used, namely BMRI. AMRT. SSMS. MLPT, and ANTM. The research results obtained optimal portfolio stocks with respective weights BMRI = 0. AMRT=0. SSMS=0. MLPT=0. 08475 and ANTM=0. An optimal portfolio composition produces an average return = 0. 00207 and variance = 0. Keywords: Risk, portfolio optimization, mean-variance Introduction Investment is a delay in current consumption to be included in productive assets for a certain period of time (Ristianawati et al. , 2. Tandelilin . states that investment is a commitment to invest several funds or other resources at this time to obtain several benefits in the future. Investors will choose productive stocks while donating their capital. The productive stocks in question have the greatest returns at certain risks. The portfolio model that emphasizes the return value and portfolio risk is the Markowitz model (Ivanova & Dospatliev, 2. The Markowitz model is also known as the Mean-Variance model (Deng & Lin, 2. In investing, investors can choose to invest their funds at risk, either in non-free assets or in, risk-free assets, or a combination of both assets. Non-risk-free assets are sets for which the actual future rate of return has some bearing. One example of a riskless asset is a stock (Pirvu & Schulze, 2. This discussion aims to show the analysis of the Mean-Variance investment portfolio optimization model without risk-free assets. The analysis of portfolio risk and return calculations are then used to determine the weight composition . of fund allocation in each of the assets that make up the optimum portfolio. It is hoped that it will be useful to add to the literature on investment optimization models and be used as an alternative for investors in optimizing their investment portfolios. Materials and Methods Materials The stocks used in this portfolio are shares of Bank Mandiri (BMRI). Sumber Alfaria Trijaya (AMRT). Sawit Sumbermas Sarana (SSMS). Multipolar Technology (MLPT), and Aneka Tambang (ANTM). Each share was taken from 24 May 2021 Ae 20 May 2022. Daulay et al. / International Journal of Quantitative Research and Modeling. Vol. No. 3, pp. 113-117, 2022 Methods In this portfolio, the Mean-Variance method will be used without risk-free assets. Suppose there are N risk-free assets with returns Assuming that the first and second moments of exist, the transposed [ ] vector of the expected return value is expressed as and the covariance matrix is expressed as Oc ( ) where If the portfolio return is with the transpose weight vector , and the condition is Oc , then the expected portfolio return using vector notation can be expressed as: [ ] and the portfolio variance can be expressed as: ( ) In Mean-Variance optimization, the efficient portfolio is defined as follows. Definition: A portfolio is . ean-varianc. efficient if there is no portfolio with (Panjer et , 1998. Rupert, 2. To get an efficient portfolio, it means that you have to solve the portfolio optimization problem as follows: Oc } . , and multiplier, can be expressed as follows: The Lagrange function of the equation above, where Oc The above equation uses the necessary conditions of the Kuhn-Tucker theorem is the . , got: Equation multiple Oc and state in , then multiply the result Oc When Oc After the solution is done, it is obtained: {Oc Oc it produces a minimum variance portfolio with weights: Furthermore, the researchers expanded the Mean-Variance investment portfolio optimization model by including risk-free assets.

Vol. No. 3, pp. 113-117, 2022 Oc The inverse covariance matrix Oc is used to calculate the composition of the efficient portfolio weights. Investment Portfolio Optimization Process The problem of Mean-Variance optimization without risk-free assets is compiled using the vectors , and the matrix Oc , the weight vector is calculated using the previous equation. The risk tolerance with the condition that in the investment portfolio optimization is simulated by taking several values that meet the requirements Taking risk tolerance is stopped if, for a risk tolerance value after being substituted into the previous equation, it produces a weight that is not a positive real number and fulfills Table 3: The process of optimizing a Mean-Variance investment portfolio without risk-free assets BMRI AMRT SSMS MLPT ANTM A series of efficient portfolios are on the efficient frontier. The efficient frontier is an efficient surface on which portfolios are located and whose returns are commensurate with the risks. The efficient frontier curve and the ratio between the average return and the portfolio variance are shown in the following Figure 2. Average Ratio to Variance Figure 2: The efficient frontier curve and the ratio between the average return and the portfolio variance Discussion Analysis of the results of the optimization process is carried out by paying attention to the results in Table 3 which are explained as follows: Risk tolerance, taking risk tolerance only for values 0OEO1. This is because the value of risk tolerance E> 1. produces a negative weight. Daulay et al. / International Journal of Quantitative Research and Modeling. Vol. No. 3, pp. 113-117, 2022 The minimum portfolio obtained an average return of 0. 00238 with a variance of 0. The maximum portfolio obtained an average return of 0. 00140 with a variance of 0. The optimum portfolio obtained an average return of 0. 00207 with a variance of 0. The optimum portfolio weight, the proportion of shares BMRI = 0. AMRT=0. SSMS=0. MLPT=0. 08475 and ANTM=0.
