    This paper presents the results of an exploratory research conducted with the objective of structuring a portfolio of shares in the Hong Kong stock market. For the construction of the optimal portfolio was applied Modern Portfolio Theory, first to 20 stock indexes worldwide and then to 27 shares selected from Hang Seng Index (HSI) of the Hong Kong stock market, in both cases with a database built with the value of the indexes and stock prices in the period January 2002 - August 2007. With the analysis of the indexes, it was determined that the index of Hong Kong is not part of the portfolio market, but this is not enough reason for not investing in that market, given that in the analysis of the environment was found that Hong Kong is a region of international significance, with a growing economy and leading companies globally. The diversification exercise conducted with the selected actions from index HSI allowed to structure portfolios that maximize return for different risk levels and determine an efficient frontier that, in addition to being well above the HSI, is dominant compared to the efficient frontier shaped with the stock indices of the countries surveyed.

    Estructuración de un portafolio óptimo de inversión en divisas representativas del mercado Forex

    Foreign currency market offers a wide array of options, where each currency shows different return and risk levels. The present paper proposes the application of an optimization model using Excel, by which efficient portfolios are obtained, based on Markowitz’s theory. The efficient frontier may be constructed from the application of the mentioned model. Important information needed by the structurer, in order to make decisions on the assets selection for a new portfolio, may be obtained as well. By simulating portfolios made of different assets, it is possible to find the optimal mix that allows for achieving higher returns and lower risk than that of the market, or those which satisfy the investor’s expected return and risk levels. The result of applying the model to this particular case presents a portfolio made of six different currencies: Euro, Pound Sterling, Brazilian Real, Colombian Peso, Swiss Franc and Chilean Peso. This mixture manages to outperform both the return level of the benchmark and the risk-free rate (American Treasury Bonds), as well as their risk levels, resulting in an annual return of 8,6%, and a 6,33% risk level.
