Subject: fPortfolio maxreturnPortfolio
Hi,
I've just upgraded package fPortfolio to v280.74. Funcion maxreturnPortfolio() does not seem to work, see example code below. Anyone using it? Maybe I'm using it incorrectly, but no examples are provided in the documentation. Any hint?
Best,
Enrique

The function "maxreturnPortfolio" is in fPortfolio v280.74.
