#3233 — Re: random financial portfolios

 *weights={w1,w2,w3,w4}*
 where each term is a random numbers representing asset the asset weight
 [assume that these must sum  to 1 - a long only portfolio]

Hi.  Just to mention an alternative to a weight function:

weights = Normalize[RandomReal[1,4],Tr]

{0.214211,0.0813038,0.236346,0.468139}

% //Total
1.
