Abstract: Classical diversification theory is connected with portfolio analysis and concerns decreasing portfolio risk by increasing the number of stocks in portfolio. This kind of diversification is called vertical diversification. Portfolio analysis is long-term investment strategy, so the set of stocks used to construct portfolio should be selected using this assumption. We propose a different type of diversification, that is horizontal diversification. In the article the authors constructed portfolios using an idea of Markowitz model. The set of stocks used to construct portfolios was selected using three types of linear ranking methods. Moreover, the fundamental portfolios were constructed. Empirical studies were conducted using datasets from Warsaw Stock Exchange for the period of 2000-2002. The methods were compared and the best of them were selected.
