Genetic algorithm is a concept that is inspired by Charles Darwin’s theory of the process of natural selection. Such algorithms imitate natural biological processes like mutation, inheritance, crossover and selection. Genetic algorithms are especially good at solving optimisation problems. This makes them highly applicable in the field of finance. They can solve the problem of portfolio rebalancing optimization efficiently.
