Investment strategy: Asset allocation is the process of choosing which portion of your investment portfolio will go to what kinds of investments. Imagine yourself 5 years after graduation, ready to invest your savings to maximize your lifetime returns. You ponder on what investment strategy to follow and visit three investment companies, which describe their strategy for asset allocation. You ask for additional information, such as a typical portfolio composition (about 300 stocks, bonds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), commodities, forex, and international stocks) as well as a percent return on investments for the last 30 years. The graph below shows the percent return on investment data you obtained from the three companies. Company A Company B Company C Which of the three strategies has the highest median percent return on investments?

Portfolio selection: An investor has 1 million to invest in any combination of bonds, stocks, term deposits and real estate. The anticipated (or known) interest rates (in %, annually), the risk factors (high number indicates a high risk) and the expected increase in the value of the investment (in %, annually) are shown in the following table: Type of investment | Interest | Risk factor | Expected increase in value Bonds | 5% | 3 | 0% Stocks | 2% | 10 | 7% Term deposits | 4% | 2 | 0% Real estate | 0% | 5 | 7% For example: stocks yield an average of 2% in interest, and in addition to that, they are expected to increase in value by 7%, giving a total increase of 9% per year; the risk per unit of money invested in stocks is 10. The other numbers are to be interpreted similarly. The objective is to maximise the amount that is expected to be available in a year's time subject to the following restrictions: - of the total amount of money invested, at least 30% must be invested in bonds, not more than 10% in stocks, and at least 10% in term deposits - at least $500 in term deposits - up to 50% of the total money invested in real estate may be borrowed against in the form of a mortgage at an interest rate of 6%, the amount borrowed cannot exceed $150,000 - the average risk of the investment cannot exceed 4.5 - the average annual interest should be at least 2.5% Formulate this portfolio selection problem as an LP problem, remember to define all of the variables clearly. Note: if your LP is non-standard, you do not need to reformulate the LP problem into standard form, and you are not required to solve the LP that you formulated.
