Does a more sophisticated model lead to a better description and solution of a real portfolio selection problem?

Original language description

The investment decision making, or investment portfolio selection, is not an elementary process because of namely an unstable, vague elements on the capital market. One of them is a return. This element can be expressed in a simple form as mean or in advanced form as (triangular) fuzzy number which could represent better its instability. To make a portfolio, a well-known Markowitz model (with some appropriate modifications) can be applied. The main and interesting research question is whether the portfolios (with crisp and fuzzy returns) are the same or not. If yes, then a use of more complex (more sophisticated) fuzzy approach is unnecessary and the decision making process may become easier. Otherwise, the levels of the main monitored characteristics of the portfolios are compared to clearly declare which model provides a better solution. To make a comprehensive analysis, a few investment situations (with various groups of open unit trusts in terms of two time periods) are studied. The empirical analysis is carried out on the open unit trusts that are still more popular in the Czech Republic. The portfolios are made for each investment situation via both models. Their composition is analysed and compared. It turns out that a more sophisticated (fuzzy) model may not always be the most appropriate tool for making a portfolio.
