RAMIREZ CARMONA, Natalie  y  GARCIA SALGADO, Oswaldo. State of the art in portfolio theory: the individual analysis of actions to the multiobjective optimization. Revista de coyuntura y perspectivas [online]. 2016, vol.1, n.4, pp. 101-144. ISSN 2415-0622.

The publication of Markowitz (1952), known as Modern Portfolio Theory suggests that investors should consider the performance and the overall risk to determine the allocation of funds between investment alternatives. However, due to the complexity of the financial environment, the model proposed in this theory is still very relevant with different extensions, variants and new developments, both in academia and in practice. This article begins by describing the background of this theory, then examining and constructing an analysis of different research projects including, among others, the use of higher order moments, new computational optimization procedures and innovative methodologies to address implementation issues. This document shows a thematic and chronological summary of different approaches to portfolio theory and the various developments that have contributed to the conceptualization of the phenomenon of financial risk.
