IV.EMPIRICAL EXAMPLE<br />
In order to illustrate the features and applications of<br />
this model, we make a numerical example. For simple,<br />
we only consider two stocks. And there is a call and a put<br />
option based on each stock. Suppose that the <strong>in</strong>vestment<br />
horizon is T = 1year, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g 20 trad<strong>in</strong>g days <strong>in</strong> each<br />
month, so there is 240 trad<strong>in</strong>g days <strong>in</strong> total. To divide<br />
T by daily, that is Δ t =1day, equals to 1 year. The<br />
240<br />
price of each stock is supposed to follow log-normal<br />
distribution, then the price of stock i,( i = 1,2) <strong>in</strong><br />
t + 1day is:<br />

Each stock will only correspond to a European call<br />
option and a European put option, asset specific<br />
parameters are as follows:<br />
μ1 = 11%, σ1 = 26.86%; μ2 = 8.05%, σ2<br />
= 16.3%<br />
Other parameters are as shown <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
The k<strong>in</strong>d of option, underly<strong>in</strong>g, market price, option<br />
price, time and strike price respectively are:<br />
For call option C 1<br />
whose underl<strong>in</strong>g is S with <strong>in</strong>itial<br />

value S 1 ( 0 ) =15.59, the option premium C 1 ( 0 ) =2.17,<br />
the strike price is K<br />

where C is the covariance matrix between the assets ,<br />
the m<strong>in</strong>imum return for an <strong>in</strong>vestor is 2%.<br />
By solv<strong>in</strong>g the above model, we obta<strong>in</strong> the optimal<br />
portfolio is (0.4,-0.04,-0.1,-0.3,-0.16), the objective<br />
is0.00682456. If it is set s<br />
i<br />
= 0 , that is there is no robust<br />
of return mean, the result is 0.0070175439. It is easy to<br />
understand that under robust, <strong>in</strong>vestment is more<br />
conservative. Because the advantage of comb<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g option<br />
<strong>in</strong> portfolio is option could hedg<strong>in</strong>g with risk. In order to<br />
test it, we change the variance from small to large, for<br />
example, supposeσ<br />
1<br />
= 30%; σ 2<br />
= 25% , we f<strong>in</strong>d that the<br />
objective is 0.0052984, if there is without options, the<br />
objective is 0.000215. That is, options <strong>in</strong> portfolio could<br />
hedge risks.<br />
V. CONCLUSION<br />
This paper extents the general portfolio model <strong>in</strong> two<br />
aspects. The first is to comb<strong>in</strong>ed option <strong>in</strong> the portfolio<br />
could hedge the risk, and the options can also considered<br />
as an asset <strong>in</strong> the portfolio, extend<strong>in</strong>g the general<br />
model.And we use Monte Carlo method to simulate the<br />
