data(edhec)
ret <- edhec[, 1:4]

pspec <- portfolio.spec(assets=colnames(ret))

# min_sum and max_sum can be specified with type="weight_sum" or type="leverage"
pspec <- add.constraint(pspec, type="weight_sum", min_sum=1, max_sum=1)

# Specify type="full_investment" to set min_sum=1 and max_sum=1
pspec <- add.constraint(pspec, type="full_investment")

# Specify type="dollar_neutral" or type="active" to set min_sum=0 and max_sum=0
pspec <- add.constraint(pspec, type="dollar_neutral")
pspec <- add.constraint(pspec, type="active")
