Given an initial portfolio in x0, use the setInitPort function to set the InitPort property. 

p = Portfolio('NumAssets', 4);
x0 = [ 0.3; 0.2; 0.2; 0.0 ];
p = setInitPort(p, x0);
disp(p.InitPort);

Input Arguments

collapse all

Object for portfolio, specified using Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD object. For more information on creating a portfolio object, see

Data Types: object

Initial or current portfolio weights, specified as a vector for a Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD input object (obj).

Note

If InitPort is specified as a scalar and NumAssets exists, then InitPort undergoes scalar expansion.

Data Types: double

Number of assets in portfolio, specified as a scalar for a Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD input object (obj).

Note

If it is not possible to obtain a value for NumAssets, it is assumed that NumAssets is 1.

Data Types: double

Output Arguments

collapse all

Updated portfolio object, returned as a Portfolio, PortfolioCVaR, or PortfolioMAD object. For more information on creating a portfolio object, see

Tips

  • You can also use dot notation to set up an initial or current portfolio.

    obj = obj.setInitPort(InitPort, NumAssets);

  • To remove an initial portfolio, call this function with an empty argument [] for InitPort.
