Using Genetic Algorithm for Index Tracking–Evidence from Shanghai 50

Jian-he Liu, Xin Wu, Qing-Song Fang

Abstract


This paper uses historical data of Shanghai 50 Index as sample data, replaces traditional optimization methods with genetic algorithm, uses clustering analysis method to build tracking portfolio, and compares the empirical results with those of traditional optimization methods. The empirical results of Shanghai 50 index show that using genetic algorithm for index tracking can get better performance with lower volatility.
