Portfolio modelling using the goals based investment approach

Ing. Theophilus Sakyiamah Atuah

Master's thesis

Anotácia:

This thesis constructed a portfolio using the goals based investment approach. The study used 10 historical assets prices spanning from April 12th, 2010, to March 12th, 2022. The study employed the goal-based investment approach to allocate resource across four mental accounts (subportfolio). In applying the goal-based framework, a case study was presented which was indicative of the numerous challenges (investment goals) faced by the investor. The portfolio optimization was carried out in the goal-based setting space and the Mean-variance space using the Monte Carlo engine
