Portfolio selection as a multicriteria group decision making in Pythagorean fuzzy environment with GRA and FAHP framework

Abstract

The popularity of mutual funds, which are necessarily portfolios, has been drawing more attention from the people of India over the last three decades. In a mutual fund, one can invest his or her money in the securities of different sectors traded mainly in the stock exchange markets to get expected return bearing tolerable risks. A mutual fund other than the passive mutual funds is directed by an active fund manager. The performance of a mutual fund depends on the shares and securities of different companies it contains and the fund manager's performance also. Risk and return can be measured based on different criteria. Before investment, one should select such a mutual fund that can fulfill his or her anticipation as much as possible within the risk–return skeleton. Therefore the selection of a mutual fund is rigorously a multicriteria decision making. This paper has considered five open‐ended, large‐cap, direct, suspended sales mutual funds for the research work. In the first stage, we have shortlisted the more crucial criteria comparatively from a list of criteria with the help of the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. In the second stage, we have applied the Pythagorean fuzzy Gray Relation Analysis approach to determine the weights of shortlisted criteria as well as the rank of those mutual funds. Finally, a comparison has been drawn between the present model and the Pythagorean fuzzy Interactive Multicriteria Decision‐Making model, to show the effectiveness of the present model.

Novel Aczel–Alsina operations‐based interval‐valued intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators and their applications in multiple attribute decision‐making process

“…Currently, these aggregation approaches are mostly used in medical diagnosis, decision-making, and cluster analysis. Artificial intelligence, data mining, information retrieval, machine learning, portfolio selection, 39 real estate company selection, 40 and other domains in uncertain cases [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] are all exciting areas for future research.…”

Key Selection Factors Influencing Animation Films from the Perspective of the Audience

“…Zhang et al [47] put forward an algorithm designed to assess the equilibrium of the network load in hybrid wireless settings, by integrating FAHP with GRA. Furthermore, some scholars [48,49] have utilised this combined FAHP and GRA approach for the assessment of mutual fund performance and the selection of wastewater treatment technologies.…”

Schweizer‐Sklar operations based hybrid aggregation operator to dual hesitant q‐rung orthopair fuzzy set and its application on MCGDM

“…Recently, Gayen et al, (2022) proposed Hamacher aggregation operators for aggregating ‐rung orthopair trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Also, some research works (Mahamood et al, 2019; Liao et al, 2020; Liu et al., 2022; Riaz et al, 2022; Paul et al, 2022, Mahamood et al, 2023) on IF, PF and ‐ROF contexts are reviewed.…”
