Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Mean-Variance Portfolio Optimal Under Utility PricingHürlimann WernerAn expected utility model of asset choice, which takes into account asset pricing, is considered. The obtained portfolio selection problem under utility pricing is solved under several assumptions including quadratic utility, exponential utility and multivariate symmetric elliptical returns. The obtained unique solution, called optimal utility portfolio, is shown mean-variance efficient in the classical sense. Various questions, including conditions for complete … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,176 accessesView PDFCite
