<![CDATA[Public interest in stock market investment in Indonesia has increased alongside growing awareness of financial planning and portfolio management. The LQ45 Index, consisting of stocks with high liquidity, large market capitalization, and strong fundamentals, is widely used as a benchmark for portfolio analysis. However, many portfolio studies still rely on conventional Value at Risk (VaR), which assumes normally distributed returns and may underestimate extreme losses, making it less effective in capturing tail risk. This study addresses this research gap by integrating Mean–Variance Optimization (MVO) with the Cornish–Fisher VaR approach, which incorporates skewness and kurtosis to accommodate non-normal return distributions. Daily adjusted closing price data of LQ45 stocks from January to December 2025 were obtained from Yahoo Finance, and logarithmic returns were calculated. Based on the highest Sharpe Ratios, BRPT, EXCL, and ANTM were selected as portfolio constituents. Correlation analysis shows low dependency among the selected stocks, supporting diversification, while normality tests confirm deviations from normality, justifying the use of Cornish–Fisher VaR. The optimal portfolio allocates 10.6% to BRPT, 65.5% to EXCL, and 23.9% to ANTM, producing an expected return of 65.7%, portfolio risk of 26.2%, and a Sharpe Ratio of 2.5, indicating strong risk-adjusted performance. Cornish–Fisher VaR estimates potential losses of 2.23%, 3.09%, and 5.30% at the 90%, 95%, and 99% confidence levels. These results demonstrate that combining MVO and Cornish–Fisher VaR offers a more robust framework for portfolio optimization in the Indonesian stock market.]]>
