Robust Profit Opportunities in Risky Financial Portfolios

For risky financial securities with given expected return vector and covariance matrix, we propose the concept of a robust profit opportunity in single and multiple period settings. We show that the problem of finding the ``most robust'' profit opportunity can be solved as a convex quadratic programming problem, and investigate its relation to the Sharpe ratio.
