1. A method for multi-objective portfolio optimization, the method comprising the steps of:
generating an initial population of solutions of portfolio allocations using a combination of linear programming and sequential linear programming algorithms in a portfolio configuration space using a computing device, the portfolio configuration space having a plurality of dimensions;
generating a first interim efficient frontier in a portfolio performance space having at least three dimensions using a Pareto Sorting Evolutionary Algorithm (PSEA);
generating a second interim efficient frontier in the portfolio performance space using a Target Objectives Genetic Algorithm (TOGA);
concatenating the first interim efficient frontier with the second interim efficient frontier to create a third interim efficient frontier; and
passing the third interim efficient frontier through a dominance filter to generate a final efficient frontier for use in investment decisions.
