A sequential goal programming model with fuzzy hierarchies to sustainable and responsible portfolio selection problem
为可持续与负责任投资者提供一种工具,通过模糊层次目标规划模型,在财务与可持续性目标间表达偏好,并应用于英国可持续共同基金。
Sustainable and responsible (SR) investors have to address two criteria types: both financial ones and those pertaining to sustainability and social responsibility. We present a comfortable tool for SR investors that allow them to express their preferences at two levels: first, by comparing criteria of the same nature, and second, via the comparison between the two superior level criteria (the financial and the SR objectives). Owing to the difficulty involved in determining a precise preference between the conflicting objectives, we address this by goal programming with fuzzy hierarchies (GPFH) modelling. This methodology is a modification of the lexicographic GP approach whereby the relative importance relations among the criteria are modelled by fuzzy relations. The proposed sequential handling for the SR portfolios selection provides information to the investors on the best result they can achieve in regard to their goals. An application to a set of UK-SR mutual funds is presented.
