Abstract

We study portfolio selections under mean-variance preference with multiple priors for means and variances. We introduce two types of multiple priors, the priors for means and the priors for variances of risky asset returns. As our framework, in the absence of a risk-free asset, the global minimum-variance portfolio is optimal when the investor is extremely ambiguity averse with respect to means, and the equally weighted portfolio is optimal when the investor is extremely ambiguity averse with respect to variances.

We can exclude the case that the RHS of (25) converges to zero since \(C_M\), \(\eta ^\theta \), \(\eta ^V\), and \(\psi ^*\) are positive.

We modify the original problem in Pflug et al. (2012) for this to take the same form as in this paper. It can be easily seen that the problem (30) is equivalent to the original problem in Pflug et al. (2012).

The author computes the performances with the other values of \(\alpha \), \(\alpha =0,\;0.01,\;0.5,\) and 1.0. However, the ad hoc portfolio with \(\alpha = 0.1\) has the best performance among all examined ad hoc portfolios, so we do not report the cases with \(\alpha \ne 0.1\).
