Portfolio Optimization on Classical and Quantum Computers Using PortFawn

Moein Owhadi-Kareshk, Pierre Boulanger

Portfolio diversification is one of the most effective ways to minimize investment risk. Individuals and fund managers aim to create a portfolio of assets that not only have high returns but are also uncorrelated. This goal can be achieved by comparing the historical performance, fundamentals, predictions, news sentiment, and many other parameters that can affect the portfolio's value. One of the most well-known approaches to manage/optimize portfolios is the well-known mean-variance (Markowitz) portfolio. The algorithm's inputs are the expected returns and risks (volatility), and its output is the optimized weights for each asset in the target portfolio. Simplified unrealistic assumptions and constraints were used in its original version preventing its use in practical cases. One solution to improve its usability is by altering the parameters and constraints to match investment goals and requirements. This paper introduces PortFawn, an open-source Python library to create and backtest mean-variance portfolios. PortFawn provides simple-to-use APIs to create and evaluate mean-variance optimization algorithms using classical computing (real-valued asset weights) as well as quantum annealing computing (binary asset weights). This tool has many parameters to customize the target portfolios according to the investment goals. The paper introduces the background and limitations of the mean-variance portfolio optimization algorithm, its architecture, and a description of the functionalities of PortFawn. We also show how one can use this tool in practice using a simple investment scenario.

Exploring the synergistic potential of quantum annealing and gate model computing for portfolio optimization

Naman Jain, M Girish Chandra

Portfolio optimization is one of the most studied problems for demonstrating the near-term applications of quantum computing. However, large-scale problems cannot be solved on today's quantum hardware. In this work, we extend upon a study to use the best of both quantum annealing and gate-based quantum computing systems to enable solving large-scale optimization problems efficiently on the available hardware. The existing work uses a method called Large System Sampling Approximation (LSSA) that involves dividing the large problem into several smaller problems and then combining the multiple solutions to approximate the solution to the original problem. This paper introduces a novel technique to modify the sampling step of LSSA. We divide the portfolio optimization problem into sub-systems of smaller sizes by selecting a diverse set of assets that act as representatives of the entire market and capture the highest correlations among assets. We conduct tests on real-world stock data from the Indian stock market on up to 64 assets. Our experimentation shows that the hybrid approach performs at par with the traditional classical optimization methods with a good approximation ratio. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a range of portfolio optimization problems of different sizes. We present the effects of different parameters on the proposed method and compare its performance with the earlier work. Our findings suggest that hybrid annealer-gate quantum computing can be a valuable tool for portfolio managers seeking to optimize their investment portfolios in the near future.
