Abstract

Reasonable choice of modern portfolio model is a decisive step when making strategy during the investing in capital market or money market. In this paper, the Markowitz Model and Single-Index Model are selected for comparison to show which one could provide better performance. Meanwhile, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is used to support the research. Totally 20 years of historical daily total return data for ten famous companies (Microsoft Corporation, Akamai Technologies, etc.) are collected in this research dealt with a set of complicated mathematical methods. In the analysis step, Excel Slover is used to managing the optimization problem under five different constraints for each model. According to the paper, Markowitz Model performs better in the high-risk portfolio and when faced with a low-risk investment project, utilizing Index Model would be a better choice for the investor.
