Black—Litterman overcame this problem by not requiring the user to input estimates of expected return; instead it assumes that the initial expected returns are whatever is required so that the equilibrium asset allocation is equal to what we observe in the markets.
In general, when there are portfolio constraints – for optimisation, when short sales are not allowed – the easiest way to find the optimal portfolio is to use the Black—Litterman model to generate the expected returns for the assets, and then use a mean-variance optimizer to solve blcak constrained optimization problem. In principle Modern Portfolio Theory the mean-variance approach of Markowitz offers a solution to this problem once the expected returns and covariances of the assets are known.

The user is only required to state how his assumptions about expected returns differ from the markets and to state his degree of confidence in the alternative assumptions. It seeks to overcome problems that institutional investors have encountered in applying modern portfolio theory in practice.
While Modern Portfolio Theory is an important theoretical advance, its application has universally encountered a problem: Asset allocation is the decision faced by an investor who must choose how to allocate their portfolio across a few say six to twenty asset classes. The model starts with the equilibrium assumption that the asset allocation of litferman representative agent should be proportional to the market values of the available assets, and then modifies that to take into account the ‘views’ i.
For example, a globally invested pension fund must choose how much to allocate to each major country or region. From this, the Black—Litterman method computes the desired mean-variance efficient asset allocation.
