Projects
The objective of this project was to obtain a portfolio with the optimal result (highest ROE & Sharpe Ratio). Samples were taken from Virginia Tech SEED's real energy portfolio, and the chosen equities were tested through Monte Carlo simulation, applying themes of diversification, risk management, setting a goal, and establishing a time horizon. Fibonacci retracement levels were established to determine possible support and resistance levels.
