ABSTRACT:
A method for optimizing risk-adjusted returns of a composite portfolio having a non-variable portion containing at least tangible residential real estate property investments and a variable portion containing other assets having a liquidity profile that is more liquid than the non-variable portion of the portfolio. The other assets in the variable portion of the portfolio are optimized in order to diversify and/or hedge risks associated with the non-variable portion of the portfolio. The optimizing is performed by calculating a mix of assets in the variable portion of the portfolio that maximizes expected returns for the composite portfolio while minimizing risks for the composite portfolio.
