Advanced Portfolio Optimization. Either use Portfolio to optimize any selection of any number of alternative capital investment projects based on selected objectives* (maximize NPV, maximize IRR, minimize risk) with Capital Budgeting. You can express forecast cash flows in individual time periods using the Multiperiod option. OR use Portfolio and the Markowitz command to optimize any portfolio of securities so that the rate of return and risks are maximized along the Efficient Frontier boundary. Efficient Frontier values for any portfolio are charted in your Excel. |
| Portfolio applies linear programming calculations to find the maximum risk/return arrangement (mix of securities) for any portfolio large or small. There is no need to understand linear programming; the software creates the tables automatically to calculate the optimized balanced risk-return solutions. | |
| * To establish the NPV and IRR of individual investments you need to use the Add Projects command in Investment Economics (Investment Economics and Portfolio are companions to each other). |
Optimize Portfolios...
The Portfolio add-in can be used for Capital Budgeting allocation decisions as shown below. The add-in selects which investments to accept based on your requirements.
The table sizes are flexible. You can add as many projects as you want to the table below via the Capital Budgeting dialog form. The screen images show only a sample of possible solution tables that can be constructed with Portfolio. The instruction arrow directions in the screens below are supplied by the Instructions template, not by the add-in. The colored cells within the tables are calculated values.
When you select IRR constraint (minimum acceptable portfolio IRR) as an objective, the Compute Rate calculator button appears and the portfolio is optimized to accept only those investments that are above the minimum IRR objective.
Securities Portfolio Optimization – Balancing Return and Risk...
Two generally conflicting measures combine to enable a share portfolio to become optimized, the expected return and the acceptable variance of the return (the risk factor). Investors want an optimized portfolio that has a high return and low risk. Since the goals of maximizing return and minimizing risk usually conflict, Portfolio add-in has been developed to create an optimized selection of securities that brings the best solution for minimizing variance (risk) and maximizing the rate of return as well.
The Portfolio add-in creates an optimization schedule (below) driven by your instructions and inputs. You set the number of securities that the table will accept, set the target rate of return and acceptable risk. When you click OK within the dialog the entire page below is displayed. You enter the percentage changes in prices for each share over a period of time that is meaningful (a month, two months, quarterly) and from this data the Portfolio add-in constructs a correlation of rates of returns of each stock with the variance of the price changes.
The Portfolio template outputs the Efficient Frontier optimized portfolio chart showing return versus risk in chart form). Use this chart to choose your risk profile and read the rate of return that corresponds with this risk factor.
New Versions
New versions of the add-ins are released constantly. The screens above may have been improved beyond the images provided on this page. Refer to the instruction templates for description of added features and improvements. Buyers of our Add-In Collections receive upgrades automatically.
Single or Multi System Editions
Solutions (and functions) are linked to the add-in that creates them. When opened on another computer the reference includes a path to the add-in located on the originating system. Multi system editions provide a Links/Freeze function. Links/Freeze allows you to Freeze the output results created by system 1, copy to another system 2 with the add-in installed, then all outputs display in 2 (and systems 3, 4, 5, etc.). To run this add-in on several systems (work, laptop and at home) you need the multi system edition.
Add-In Menus
The add-in menu on this page is available in Mac versions of Excel. In Windows Excel, the add-in installs into the PJ_MLNS menu which is located on the toolbar. The add-in menu as shown does not display in Windows Excel.
New Excel add-ins provide ready made solution models for forecasting, business economics, portfolio optimization, business resource optimization and material planning that you can use as in business and investing. Powerful new tools for operations management.
Keys to Success # 1. Forecasting.xla. To develop forecasts with a high level of accuracy gives you the a key to successful business planning. Use Forecast.xla and produce fast and accurate time series forecasts incorporating best fit equations (choose the most accurate forecasting model) using moving averages, exponential smoothing, regression and exponential smoothing with a trend (double exponential smoothing).
Keys to Success # 2. Investment Economics.xla. To be able to forecast investment returns with a high level of accuracy gives you a key to achieving successful business investments. Economics.xla produces fast and accurate financial models that determine the time value of money returns from your business investment projects. Provides Net Worth & IRR calculations, pay back. Compare an infinite number of alternative projects.
Keys to Success # 3. Portfolio (investments optimization).xla. To learn how to balance acceptable risk with real measured rates of return from stocks held in any securities portfolio successfully gives you a key to successful investing. Portfolio.xla optimizes portfolios (percentage holdings for a mix of stocks) for any number of securities using LP (linear programming) optimization software. No knowledge or experience with linear programming is required (the add-in creates the model and solves for the maximized solution).
Keys to Success # 4. Process Flow (Materials and Resources optimization).xla. Plan for maximum profits, locate resource bottlenecks, defines current constraints on materials or resources on hand using Process.xla. Process.xla gives you the key for business success using LP (linear programming) optimization software to calculate the maximum profit process flow. No knowledge or experience with linear programming is required (the add-in creates the model and solves for the maximized solution). Process.xla constructs materials and resource flow models that mirror your operations, locates bottlenecks, finds most profitable utilization of materials and resources.
Keys to Success # 5. MRP.xla.. The MRP add-in create dynamic materials requirement planning (MRP) spreadsheets and tables that optimizes the least cost solution for users' manufacturing requirements. Including material purchasing, defines minimum inventory levels, least cost production scheduling. No previous experience with MRP is required. The add-in creates the MRP spreadsheets. Instructional templates guides and tutorial examples included.
