Modern financial portfolio management problems as well as asset/liability problems use stochastic optimization to allocate financial assets. To implement and solve such a stochastic optimization based portfolio allocation problem, we require scenario trees for the description of the future market evolutions of every random variable present in the model. This thesis proposes a general algorithm to...
