Black-Litterman Asset Allocation Model
Black-Litterman Model Overview
This portfolio optimizer tool implements the Black-Litterman asset allocation model.
The Black-Litterman asset allocation model combines ideas from the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Markowitz’s mean-variance optimization model
to provide a method to calculate the optimal portfolio weights based on the given inputs. The model first calculates the implied market equilibrium returns
based on the given benchmark asset allocation weights, and then allows the investor to adjust these expected returns based on the investor's views.
The opinion adjusted returns are then passed to the mean variance optimizer to derive the optimal asset allocation weights.
