Summary/Abstract: The process of a portfolio optimisation is preceded by a stock selection. The article is concentrated on using the synthetic measure of development in the stock selection. The synthetic measure of development proposed by Hellwig (Hellwig, 1968) is one of the methods of linear arrangement. It enables the classification of companies in relation to the set variables, that are financial ratios. The purpose of the article is to study if one of five quantile portfolios is systematically giving higher rate of return than the benchmark portfolio.
