POSITIVE VARIABLES
x(i) Holdings of assets;
VARIABLES
PortVariance Portfolio variance
d_bar Portfolio expected excess return
z Objective function value;
EQUATIONS
ReturnDef Equation defining the portfolio excess return
VarDef Equation defining the portfolio excess variance
NormalCon Equation defining the normalization contraint
ObjDef Objective function definition;
ReturnDef .. d_bar =E= SUM(i, ExExpectedReturns(i) * x(i));
VarDef .. PortVariance =E= SUM((i,j), x(i) * ExVarCov(i,j) * x(j));
NormalCon .. SUM(i, x(i)) =E= 1;
ObjDef .. z =E= d_bar / SQRT( PortVariance );
* Put strictly positive bound on Variance to keep the model out of trouble:
PortVariance.LO = 0.001;

* Use the optimal sharpe ratio to build an efficient frontier.
* In this case the frontier is described by a line
* whose slope is the sharpe ratio, and the intercept equal to the benchmark return.
* The scalar "theta" determines the
* amount invested in the tangency portfolio. When theta is less than
* 1, part of the capital is invested at the benchmark rate. When theta is greater
* than 1, the investor is borrowing at the benchmark rate and invest the
* proceeds in the tangency portfolio. (We are assuming that the benchmark
* is the risk free, therefore its variance is zero.
