Estructuración de portafolios mediante el modelo de Markowitz : análisis comparativo del Mercado Integrado Latinoamericano, MILA

Abstract

The need for investment by agents in the Latin American stock market has brought new scenarios that allow investment portfolios to be diversified and new strategies to be created that minimize risk while increasing profitability. Thus, this paper analyzes some models for structuring portfolios applicable to Mercado Integrado Latinoamericano (MILA) and the time frame under which results can be obtained that help identify the evolution of the resulting baskets. At a theoretical level, the Markowitz model maximizes profitability for a certain defined level of risk. Undoubtedly, his proposal is one of the main theoretical assumptions of portfolio structuring and investment diversification. Therefore, the structuring of portfolios based on this model is proposed for the selection and definition of an optimal basket from the securities offered in MILA, in order to compare them with the main indices of each country that make up this economic bloc, and, by including the variation due to the exchange rate, evaluating the impact on profitability.
