Abstract

The value of risk project is usually uncertain, so venture investor must make investment decision based on prior estimation of future value of risk projects. This paper constructs a portfolio optimization model of risk projects considering the psychological characteristics of venture investors, and proposes a Bayesian method to deal with the uncertainty of value estimation in project portfolio selection, and utilizes Monte Carlo method to simulate the model as a linear integer programming problem. The study finds that, compared with portfolio selection based directly on ex ante value estimation, Bayesian modeling of project estimates of project value uncertainty can provide more accurate value estimates and use the resulting revised estimates to make portfolio decisions can help to select a project portfolio with a higher expected utility, eliminate the expected interval between the expected pre-expected utility and the expected utility of post-implementation, and reduce the degree of disappointment of venture investor's expected decision-making.
