Comparación de estrategias de inversión en el mercado de renta variable colombiano

After Harry Markovitz developed the fundamentals of Modern Portfolio Theory in the 50’s, many different models for passive investment strategy have been created in order to make better decisions on diversification. In this study, seven models for passive investment strategy are assessed and compared based on their application to historical data of the Colombian stock market during 2008 and 2012. As a result, the simplest models showed a better performance over complex methods that require optimization procedures. This fact questions the effectiveness of the Modern Portfolio Theory models in emergent markets such as the Colombian market.
