Abstract
We propose a fuzzy model for the portfolio selection problem which takes into account the vagueness of the investor’s preferences regarding the assumed risk. We also describe an exact method for solving it as well as a hybrid meta-heuristic procedure which is more adequate for medium and large-sized problems or in cases in which a quick solution is needed. As an application, we solve several problems based on data from the IBEX35 index and the Spanish Stock Exchange Interconnection System.
