The latest SOCP solver update brings a substantial performance boost. In direct comparisons with the default solver in CVXPY on classic Markowitz models, the NAG SOCP solver delivers significant speed improvements. It also handles quadratic constraints that have large dense covariance matrices (of tracking error for instance) efficiently, and offers great robustness against CVXPY default solvers.

Pricing strategy is fundamental to optimum revenue management. At the very basic level an optimum pricing strategy is: Selling the right product to the right customer at the right time. However successful pricing strategy is not one-size-fits-all. The right choice of cost-based pricing, market-based pricing, dynamic pricing, price skimming, and other strategies is business, product and market dependent. Together with the right pricing strategy, mathematical optimization, and choosing the right solver for your computation plays a crucial role in demand forecasting and revenue maximization.
