An objective of unconstrained optimization problem was formulated with four sets of fund data. The relationship between the level of acceptable risk and the weighting factor was analyzed numerically. The return of portfolio increased along with the level of acceptable risk since a high return was always accompanied by higher risk. By contrast, the risk of portfolio decreased as the weighting factor increased. The MTRM could resolve the portfolio optimization problem.</p> ER -
