Abstract
Asset selection involves picking up a particular asset within each asset class in such a manner that it would outperform the rest of the assets to maximize the investor’s goal of increasing value while mitigating risk. This paper aims to implement a widely used “multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)” technique known as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for best asset selection. In AHP, the qualitative problems are described and transformed quantitatively, and then the quantitative analysis is used to find the relationship among various decision criteria. In this study, ethical and suitability criteria are used along with the financial criteria to rank the assets based on individual investors’ preferences. To demonstrate the efficacy of the problem, a hypothetical data set is used for ethical and suitability criteria, and data set of 10 assets of Nifty 50 companies under the National Stock Exchange (NSE) is collected for financial criteria.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management (IJMSEM) is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal that provides an international forum for researchers and practitioners of management science and engineering management. The journal focuses on identifying problems in the field, and using innovative management theories and new management methods to provide solutions. IJMSEM is committed to providing a platform for researchers and practitioners of management science and engineering management to share experiences and communicate ideas. Articles published in IJMSEM contain fresh information and approaches. They provide key information that will contribute to new scientific inquiries and improve competency, efficiency, and productivity in the field. IJMSEM focuses on the following: 1. identifying Management Science problems in engineering; 2. using management theory and methods to solve above problems innovatively and effectively; 3. developing new management theory and method to the newly emerged management issues in engineering; IJMSEM prefers papers with practical background, clear problem description, understandable physical and mathematical model, physical model with practical significance and theoretical framework, operable algorithm and successful practical applications. IJMSEM also takes into account management papers of original contributions in one or several aspects of these elements.
