"""
The ``objective_functions`` module provides optimisation objectives, including the actual
objective functions called by the ``EfficientFrontier`` object's optimisation methods.
These methods are primarily designed for internal use during optimisation (via
scipy.optimize), and each requires a certain signature (which is why they have not been
factored into a class). For obvious reasons, any objective function must accept ``weights``
as an argument, and must also have at least one of ``expected_returns`` or ``cov_matrix``.
Because scipy.optimize only minimises, any objectives that we want to maximise must be
made negative.
Currently implemented:
- negative mean return
- (regularised) negative Sharpe ratio
- (regularised) volatility
