Highlights • We study the problem of tracking and outperforming large stock-market indices. • We compare linear and quadratic objective functions used in the literature. • We consider various real-life constraints that are relevant in practice. • We propose novel MIP formulations and novel matheuristics. • We find that the tracking error variance, a quadratic function, should be optimized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
