| description | Index tracking, the most popular form of passive fund management, is a portfolio
selection problem in which the return of one of the stock market indexes is reproduced by
creating a tracking portfolio consisting of a subset of the stocks included in the index.
Index tracking has been known as an NP-Hard problem, and sophisticated approaches
have been proposed in the literature to solve this problem. This paper presents an easyto-implement heuristic solution to this complex problem. The proposed approach was
implemented to develop a tracking portfolio of 438 stocks listed in the Tehran Exchange
Price Index. The numerical results indicate that the approach is able to identify quality
solutions within reasonable model runtime. |
