Index Fund Construction

n the example, we use Subgradient algorithm we built in our package to do the optimization for the mathematical model we built. We want to use this model to construct an Index fund by using only part of its corresponding market Index’s components. And based on the result of the optimization, we test the optimal model on the out-of-sample period and found that it is highly effective. Our constructed Index follows the trend of corresponding Market Index pretty well.
