The optimization process will consider both the potential
profit from a position in the mispriced asset, as well as
the risk of the overall portfolio and efficient
diversification. One example of this approach is the Fama and French
1. Estimate the risk premium and standard deviation of three-factor model and its variants, which have come

2. Place all the assets that are mispriced into an active
portfolio.

you maximize the information ratio of the active
portfolio.
