A Note on the Portfolio Selection Problem

Abstract

In this note we provide new results of interest in the portfolio choice problem when the risky opportunities are correlated: for a general vector (X 1 , X 2 ,..., X n ) of risky opportunities we give new conditions for stochastic comparison among different portfolios choices and new necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize the portfolio which gives the maximal expected utility.
