Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Financial portfolio selection has grown increasingly important in modern finance, as it plays a pivotal role in mitigating risk through effective investment diversification amid ever-changing financial markets. In the era of financial big data, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have heightened the demand for more efficient and intelligent portfolio modeling and algorithms to meet the evolving investment needs of the financial sector. This Special Issue examines the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of emerging AI technologies and operations research methods in the context of financial portfolio selection and investment decision-making.
This Special Issue aims to explore novel quantitative finance methodologies and applications, and promote the development of financial technologies. It provides a platform to highlight the latest research findings in financial portfolio selection and investment decision-making. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas include (but are not limited to) the following: financial portfolio selection; investment decision-making; operations research and optimization; artificial intelligence; machine learning; fuzzy optimization; uncertainty theory; return prediction; and ESG investment.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Sini Guo
