The objective of the article is to present a multicriteria hierarchical process (MCHP) approach to decision making in the selection of stocks of the main companies of the Dow Jones index. One of the problems that investors often face is deciding which stocks should be included in an investment portfolio. The article allows investors to answer this question, through an MCHP approach and the ELECTRE III method using different criteria based on the financial relationships of profitability, liquidity, market, and efficiency. In this process, the investor generates a global ranking and a ranking of each subgroup of criteria regarding the investor’s preferences. El objetivo del artículo es presentar un enfoque de proceso jerárquico multicriterio para la toma de decisiones en la selección de acciones de las principales empresas que cotizan en el índice Dow Jones. Uno de los problemas que suelen enfrentar los inversores es decidir qué acciones deben incluirse en un portafolio de inversión. El artículo permite a los inversores dar respuesta a esa pregunta, mediante un enfoque jerárquico y el método ELECTRE III utilizando diferentes criterios basados en las ratios financieras de rentabilidad, liquidez, mercado y eficiencia. En este proceso el inversor genera un ordenamiento a un nivel global y un ordenamiento en subgrupo de criterios considerando sus preferencias.

La investigación tiene como objetivo dar soporte para la toma de decisiones en el problema de evaluación y selección de acciones de la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV) con un enfoque de gobernanza, social y ambiental. El problema se analiza desde un enfoque jerárquico multicriterio para la toma de decisiones, aplicando el método ELECTRE III, y utilizando indicadores financieros y de sostenibilidad. Los resultados permiten generar diversos ordenamientos considerando la jerarquía de los indicadores financieros de las acciones. Esto permite el apoyo al perfil del inversor en seleccionar acciones para inversión. Al utilizar indicadores financieros pueden omitirse características importantes de otros factores de las acciones. Por ello, podrían considerarse otros indicadores no financieros. El enfoque multicriterio en la evaluación de inversión es cada vez más utilizado en la toma de decisiones. El enfoque de gobernanza, social y ambiental en las acciones es innovador al considerar la sostenibilidad en la inversión. Se identifican las mejores acciones de la BMV con relación a la sostenibilidad en la inversión.

This chapter presents a multicriteria hierarchical process approach for decision-making in selecting Exchange-Traded Funds assets of leading companies listed on stock exchanges worldwide. One of the problems investors often face is deciding which short-term investment strategies to include in an investment portfolio that features low-cost assets and a diversified approach. The chapter enables investors to answer this question through a hierarchical approach and the ELECTRE III method, utilizing different criteria based on financial ratios and the primary risk indices in the stock market. Finally, a ranking is obtained based on the investor's profile and their risk acceptance preferences for integrating an investment portfolio with ETF assets.

One of the problems investors often face is deciding on the stocks to include in an investment portfolio. Hence, this article seeks to select investment portfolios considering the 30 leading companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) of the Dow Jones Index. Portfolio selection in this index is carried out by generating a previous ranking of the shares with a novel approach that analyzes their performance using a multiple criteria hierarchical process (MCHP). The current research allows the evaluation of shares and optimizing a portfolio, while developing a procedure that supports a decision-making process for organizations or practitioners to invest in the stock market. The results of analyzing the NYSE generated a portfolio that can be used for interested investors. The main contribution of the application of MCHP and Markowitz model is related to the possibility of replicating the developed procedure to select portfolios in other stock markets.
