About LSO-MAX
The Large-Scale Optimizer™ has been developed jointly by Michael Best, Professor Emeritus, Department of Combinatorics and Optimization, University of Waterloo, and Jivendra Kale, President, Financiometrics Inc. It is an exceptionally fast quadratic optimizer for constructing long-only, long-short, and market-neutral portfolios with thousands of assets, and managing their risk relative to a normal, or benchmark portfolio. You can also use it for asset allocation, based on Markowitz mean-variance analysis.This is an unlimited version of the Large-Scale Optimizer™ that can be licensed as an app, or as a subroutine library that you can embed in your program. The Large-Scale Optimizer™ uses an active set method, which we have enhanced by using penalty function methodology, to gain dramatic increases in speed to reach a true global optimal solution for very large, real world portfolio optimization problems with variable transactions costs.
