Markowitz Portfolio Optimization Model
Optimize investment portfolios using Markowitz theory to balance risk and return across assets.

It uses historical price data (stocks, bonds, currencies) to calculate covariance matrices, expected returns, and risk metrics, then identifies optimal asset allocations that maximize return for a given risk level. Designed for portfolio managers, financial advisors, and sophisticated investors who need to make data-driven asset allocation decisions based on modern portfolio theory.
