A hybrid approach for portfolio selection with higher-order moments: Empirical evidence from Shanghai Stock Exchange

作者:

Highlights:

• A portfolio selection problem with higher-order moments is considered.

• Machine learning algorithms are applied for data analysis and prediction in the stock market.

• Genetic algorithm is used to solve the multi-objective optimization problem.

• The out-of-sample performance of our model is significantly better than those of traditional ones.

• Robustness is checked, compared with another two existing methods.
