setDefaultConstraints

Set up portfolio constraints with nonnegative weights that sum to 1

Syntax

obj = setDefaultConstraints(obj)
obj = setDefaultConstraints(obj,NumAssets)

Description

example

obj = setDefaultConstraints(obj) sets up portfolio constraints with nonnegative weights that sum to 1 for Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD objects. For details on the respective workflows when using these different objects, see Portfolio Object Workflow, PortfolioCVaR Object Workflow, and PortfolioMAD Object Workflow.

example

obj = setDefaultConstraints(obj,NumAssets) sets up portfolio constraints with nonnegative weights that sum to 1 with an additional option for NumAssets.

A "default" portfolio set has LowerBound = 0 and LowerBudget = UpperBudget = 1 such that a portfolio Port must satisfy sum(Port) = 1 with Port >= 0.

p = Portfolio('NumAssets', 20);
p = setDefaultConstraints(p);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Object for portfolio, specified using Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD object. For more information on creating a portfolio object, see

Data Types: object

Number of assets in portfolio, specified as a scalar for a Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD input object (obj).

Note

NumAssets cannot be used to change the dimension of a portfolio object. The default for NumAssets is 1.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Updated portfolio object, returned as a Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD object. For more information on creating a portfolio object, see

Tips

  • You can also use dot notation to set up the default portfolio set.

    obj = obj.setDefaultConstraints(NumAssets);

  • This function does not modify any existing constraints in a portfolio object other than the bound and budget constraints. If an UpperBound constraint exists, it is cleared and set to [].
