Marasovć, S. Pvac, S. V. Vukasovć Dgtal Open Scence Inde, Economcs and Management Engneerng Vol:9, o:3, 215 waset.org/publcaton/183 Abstract Constructng a portfolo of nvestments s one of the most sgnfcant fnancal decsons facng ndvduals and nsttutons. In accordance wth the modern portfolo theory mamzaton of return at mnmal rsk should be the nvestment goal of any successful nvestor. In addton, the costs ncurred when settng up a new portfolo or rebalancng an estng portfolo must be ncluded n any realstc analyss. In ths paper rebalancng an nvestment portfolo n the presence of transacton costs on the Croatan captal market s analyzed. he model appled n the paper s an etenson of the standard portfolo mean-varance optmzaton model n whch transacton costs are ncurred to rebalance an nvestment portfolo. hs model allows dfferent costs for dfferent securtes, and dfferent costs for buyng and sellng. In order to fnd effcent portfolo, usng ths model, frst, the soluton of quadratc programmng problem of smlar sze to the Markowtz model, and then the soluton of a lnear programmng problem have to be found. Furthermore, n the paper the mpact of transacton costs on the effcent fronter s nvestgated. Moreover, t s shown that global mnmum varance portfolo on the effcent fronter always has the same level of the rsk regardless of the amount of transacton costs. Although effcent fronter poston depends of both transacton costs amount and ntal portfolo t can be concluded that etreme rght portfolo on the effcent fronter always contans only one stock wth the hghest epected return and the hghest rsk. Keywords Croatan captal market, Fractonal quadratc programmng, Markowtz model, Portfolo optmzaton, ransacton costs. I. IRODUCIO 1952 H. M. Markowtz [12] developed the frst model for I portfolo optmzaton and wth that model he lad the foundaton of the modern portfolo theory. Hs model s based upon only two crtera: return and rsk. he rsk s measured by the varance of returns dstrbuton. Markowtz shows how to calculate portfolo whch has the hghest epected return for a gven level of rsk, or the lowest rsk for a gven level of epected return (the so-called effcent portfolo). he problem of portfolo selecton, accordng to ths theory, s a problem of quadratc programmng whch conssts of mnmzng rsk whle keepng n mnd an epected return whch should be guaranteed. he mportance of Markowtz's work s affrmed by the obel Prze for Economcs he won n 199. However, B. Marasovć s wth the Faculty of Economcs, Department of Quanttatve methods, Unversty of Splt, 21 Splt, Croata (phone: ; fa: ; e-mal: branka.marasovc@ efst.hr). S. Pvac s wth the Faculty of Economcs, Department of Quanttatve methods, Unversty of Splt, 21 Splt, Croata (e-mal: snjezana.pvac@ efst.hr). S. V. Vukasovć s graduated student wth the Faculty of Scence, Department of Mathematcs, Unversty of Splt, 21 Splt, Croata (e-mal: stjvuk@pmfst.hr). parallel to ntroducng the Markowtz model n the common usage ts lmtatons and drawbacks were beng notced. One of dsadvantages of Markowtz model s the fact that t doesn t take nto consderaton transacton cost although costs ncurred when settng up a new portfolo or rebalancng an estng portfolo must be ncluded n any realstc analyss. In ths paper, we apply a method for fndng an optmal portfolo wth proportonal transacton costs on the Croatan captal market and analyze the same. hese costs vary lnearly wth the amount of a securty bought or sold. hs method allows dfferent costs for dfferent securtes, and dfferent costs for buyng and sellng. hs model captures the feature that transacton costs are pad when a securty s bought or sold and the transacton cost reduces the amount of that partcular securty that s avalable. In partcular, both the rsk and the return n our model are measured usng the portfolo arsng after payng the transacton costs. he portfolo rebalancng problem has smlartes to the nde trackng problem [1], [5]. See [2] for a dscusson of portfolo optmzaton models. Portfolo optmzaton models wth alternatve rsk measure have been nvestgated n [8], [1], [16]. Contrary to the epectatons of the modern portfolo theory, the tests carred out on a number of fnancal markets (AMEX, YSE, SE, Pars Stock Echange, etc.) have revealed the estence of other ndcators, besdes return and rsk, mportant n portfolo selecton. he most mportant anomales dscovered to date are the sze measured by stock market captalzaton and the Prce Earnng Rato (PER) [4]. Consderng the mportance of varables other than return and rsk, selecton of the optmal portfolo becomes a mult-crtera problem whch should be solved by usng the approprate technques. he mult-crtera nature of the portfolo selecton was well presented n the paper of Khoury et al. [9] and today an arsenal of multdmensonal and multcrtera methods such as factor analyss, goal programmng, AHP, ELECRE, MIORA, ADELAIS, etc. have been already appled n portfolo selecton [4], [7], [11], [15], [21]. An applcaton of the portfolo optmzaton model wth transacton costs on the Croatan captal market s presented n [17]. In that paper authors used the model n whch measure of rsk (varance) of effcent portfolo wasn t calculated n an approprate manner. In order to properly represent the varance of the resultng portfolo, t s necessary to rescale by the funds avalable after payng the transacton costs [14]. In the model appled n ths paper the varance s calculated on proposed way. he paper s organzed n fve sectons. After ths ntroductory secton, n the second secton the elements of the Internatonal Scholarly and Scentfc Research & Innovaton 9(3)

Portfolo Rebalancng Problem s eposed n the thrd secton. In the fourth secton portfolo model wth transacton cost s appled on the Croatan captal market and t s nvestgated the propertes of the obtaned effectve portfolos. Fnally, some concludng remarks are gven. II. HE ELEMES OF HE MODER (MARKOWIZ'S) PORFOLIO HEORY Between two or more portfolos of rsky assets, the nvestors wll choose the one that gves the lowest varance of return of all portfolos havng the same epected return, or the one that has the hghest epected return of all portfolos havng the same varance,.e. the nvestors wll choose an effcent portfolo [2]. he effcent fronter s the set of all effcent portfolos. ow we show how to calculate effcent portfolos and the effcent fronter [12]. We use the followng notaton: here are rsky assets, each of whch has epected return Er ( ). he varable R s the column vector of epected returns of these assets: Er ( 1) r1 Er ( 2) r 2., R.. Er ( ) r and S s the varance-covarance matr: S A portfolo of rsky assets s a column vector whose coordnates sum to 1: 1 2., Each coordnate represent the proporton of the portfolo nvested n rsky asset. he epected portfolo return E( r ) of a portfolo s gven by the product of and R: Er ( ) R Er ( ) (1) 1 2 he varance of portfolo s return, s gven by the product: 2 S j j 1 j1 (2) he covarance between the return of two portfolos and y, Cov( r, r ), s defned by the product: y y Sy y j j 1 j1. (3) Mathematcally, we may defne an effcent portfolo as 2 follows [13]. For a gven portfolo varance (or standard devaton), an effcent portfolo s one that solves: 1 ma E( r ) R E r (4) 2 S (5) 1 1 (6), 1, 2,...,. (7) Last condtons mean that short sales of assets are restrcted [3]. III. PORFOLIO REBALACIG PROBLEM Portfolo rebalancng problem n the presence of transacton costs was nvestgated by [14]. What we consder s an etenson of the basc portfolo optmzaton problem n whch transacton costs are ncurred to rebalance a portfolo? hat s, transactons are made to change an already estng portfolo,, nto a new and effcent portfolo,. A portfolo may need to be rebalanced perodcally smply as updated rsk and return nformaton s generated wth the passage of tme. Further, any alteraton to the set of nvestment choces would necesstate a rebalancng decson of ths type. In addton to the obvous cost of brokerage fees/commssons, here are two eamples of other transacton costs that can be modeled n ths way [14]: 1. Captal gans taes are a securty-specfc sellng cost that can be a major consderaton for the rebalancng a portfolo. 2. Another possblty would be to ncorporate an nvestor's confdence n the rsk/return forecast as a subjectve cost". Placng hgh buyng and sellng costs on a securty would favor mantanng the current allocaton. Placng a hgh sellng cost and low buyng cost could be used to epress optmsm that a securty may outperform ts forecast. Let u and v represent the amount bought and sold (respectvely) of securty. he amount nvested n each of the securtes wll be: Internatonal Scholarly and Scentfc Research & Innovaton 9(3)

However, authors also shown that a complementary soluton can always be found effcently even n ths stuaton. IV. AALYSIS OF MEA-VARIACE PORFOLIO OPIMIZAIO MODEL WIH ICLUDED RASACIO COSS HROUGH HE APPLICAIO O HE CROAIA CAPIAL MARKE hrough the applcaton of the presented mean-varance portfolo optmzaton model wth ncluded transacton costs on the Croatan captal market we conduct analyss of effcent portfolos obtaned by presented model. From the total number of securtes quoted on the Zagreb stock echange n 213 and 214 a sample of ten stocks from CROBEX1 nde has been separated. Stocks ncluded n that nde are ten the most lqud stocks wth the hghest free float, turnover and market captalzaton on Zagreb Stock Echange. Companes ncluded n CROBEX1 nde are: AD Plastk (ADPL-R-A), Adrs grupa (ADRS-P-A), Atlantc grupa (AGR-R-A), Ercsson kola esla (ER-R-A), H (H- R-A), IA (IA-R-A), Končar-elektrondustrja (KOEI-R-A), Ledo (LEDO-R-A), Podravka (PODR-R-A), Petrokemja (PKM-R-A) [19]. For each securty from the sample we take the closng prce at the end of each two-week perod from January 1 st 213 to ovember 5 th 214. Frst we calculate the two-week returns for each securty. We choose two-week returns because the most of the stocks from the sample have normal dstrbuton of two-week returns and n ths case varance s adequate measure of rsk. For perod t and securty A, two-week return r At s defned as: P A,. t rat ln [18]. Frst we calculate effcent fronter usng P At, 1 Markowtz model based on two-week returns durng perod from January 1 st 213 to October 22 nd 214.

Most of Croatan brokerages charge all-n type of transacton fees. It means that Zagreb Stock Echange and SKDD (Central Depostory and Clearng Company) fees are ncluded n brokerage fees. Also most of Croatan brokerages charge the same transacton fees both for sellng and buyng orders. Durng year 213 those fees was between.35% and 1.25% [22]. herefore, n ths paper we conduct portfolo rebalance for the hghest and the lowest value of brokerage fees on the Croatan Captal Market. Results of portfolo rebalance wth 1.25% brokerage fees are gven n able II and wth.35% brokerage fees are gven n able III. he frst row n able II represent new effcent portfolo whch we obtaned by rebalancng the frst portfolo from able I wth transacton costs of 1.25% whle the frst row n able III represent new effcent portfolo whch we obtaned by rebalancng frst portfolo from able I wth transacton costs of.35%. From ables II and III we can notce that rebalanced portfolos wth the same return have hgher rsk f transacton costs are hgher. So, we can conclude that f nvestor wants to acheve gven rate of return he has to accept hgher rate of rsk for hgher transacton costs.

Agan, return depends of volume and number of transactons durng rebalancng and can be calculated from: 1 CuCvma Er ( ) : 1,2,...,. B S V. COCLUSIO he results show that effcent fronter s always postoned n the same rsk nterval regardless both of the amount of transacton costs and ntal portfolo. Effcent portfolo return s negatve correlated wth number and volume of transactons. Fnally, t can be concluded that effcent fronter obtaned by presented model s always postoned below effcent fronter obtaned by Markowtz model.e. Markowtz effcent portfolo always have hgher or equal return than return of effcent portfolo obtaned by presented model. REFERECES [1] C. J. Adcock, and.
