The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the inclusion of cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin, affects downside risk in a diversified portfolio. The analysis utilizes a number of performance measures and combines Modern Portfolio Theory with a Post-Modern Portfolio Theory optimization in order to evaluate different portfolios. The portfolios are also benchmarked against a naive diversification
This paper investigates the performance of benchmark indices and according ETFs against the synthetic portfolios that were built using the five major holdings of the selected benchmark index and its ETF. Not only do we test the synthetic portfolios, but from them, we make optimal (re-balanced) portfolios using mean-variance optimization (with short-selling constraints). We test and examine the ret
The thesis employs a number of tools originating from the field of Modern Portfolio Theory to assess the appropriate weight of Bitcoin in addition to several assets commonly found in the All-Weather Portfolio. Utilizing Sharpe Ratio optimization, the thesis compares two main portfolios to determine if the inclusion of Bitcoin can improve the performance and risk-return ratio of an optimized All We
This thesis studies the distribution of accessibility by public transport to retail concentrations and public hospitals in Athens, using spatial autocorrelation analysis based on Local Indicators of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA) method and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). For this reason, the study area was divided in a 300x300 meter square grid of points representing the location point
The traditional assumption of normally distributed returns in portfolio optimization often fails to capture real-world complexities. This thesis investigates how higher moments – skewness and kurtosis – enhance portfolio optimization by addressing these complexities. Using polynomial goal programming and Bayesian shrinkage estimators, the study constructs and evaluates portfolios optimized for hig

The extensive genetic diversity of HIV-1 represents a major challenge to public health interventions, treatment, and successful vaccine design. This challenge is particularly pronounced in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, where limited data among other barriers preclude the accurate characterization of HIV-1 genetic diversity. The objective of this review was to analyze studies cond
