Abstract

In this paper we investigated the exploration and exploitation abilities of Ulimisana Optimisation Algorithm (UOA) in optimising the stock portfolio where it bal-ances between risk and returns from each asset while diversifying the portfolio. This algorithm's performance was compared to Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimisation (GWO) and it was observed that though PSO and GWO resulted in high Sharpe Values, they did this by constantly updating their weight positions to be beyond the upper and lower bounds thus showing that they failed to have incremental position changes while optimising this portfolio. UOA was able to increase the weights for each asset incrementally and within the lower and upper bounds thus resulting in a more diversified portfolio. From a risk management perspective, the results from UOA are better than those of the PSO and GWO approaches.
