Abstract: 

According to the basic idea of financial market an investor used a decision making approach for the maximum return with respect to minimum risk. We test a novel decision making process to determine the optimal assets for making a portfolio and compare our method to Analytical Hierarchy Process. Based on measure of performance of two decision making process i.e. Fuzzy Soft Set and Analytical Hierarchy Process, the outcome is more reliable through fuzzy soft set from multi-input data set. The optimal portfolio is constructed using fuzzy soft set method. The aim of this paper is to select the optimal ratio of portfolio, in which multi objective portfolio optimization solved by the help of Butterfly Particle swarm optimization. This problem is formulated in mathematical programming in such a way that it has two main objectives, minimum risk and maximum return. In this paper the effectiveness of fuzzy soft set in financial problems is illustrated with example.
