Abstract

When different investors choose stocks, they will have different preferences. Many researchers have optimized investment return and risk control capabilities by improving genetic algorithms or combining new algorithms with genetic algorithms. However, how to select suitable stocks for investment portfolios and how to screen them again based on different preferences have not been explained in detail. Thus, this research aims to help investors select stocks based on macroeconomic outlook and quantitative analysis to form a portfolio, and use machine learning to evaluate and optimize them. The findings of this research show that as of the end of 2024, the high-risk and high-profit industries worth investing in include the technology industry and the energy industry. Industries that can balance risks include defence, consumer staples, and utilities. After evaluation and optimization, the Maximum Sharpe portfolio outperforms others in the Sharpe Ratio, and the naive 1/N (or equally weighted) portfolio beats the minimum volatility portfolios.
