Abstract
The aim of the research was to design and evaluate the portfolio model of institutional investors in different markets with a new approach. The research was conducted in an exploratory and survey manner. The qualitative part was conducted using the Delphi method and the quantitative part using the interpretive structural model and structural equations method. In the qualitative part and also the interpretive structural model method, the studied population was managers and experts of the companies that are members of the Tehran Stock Exchange and faculty members in the field of financial management, who were selected from the available judgment sampling method of 12 people. Using the library technique, the components affecting the model were identified. The quantitative population was an unlimited number of investors, and 384 people were selected as a sample using the Cochran formula. Based on the Delphi technique, five main categories of factors were identified, including risk position, investment conditions, market developments, financial planning, and profitability and sustainable growth.
