The Effect on Optimal Portfolios of Changing the Return to a Risky Asset: The Case of Dependent Risky Returns.
When the return to a risky asset is altered, an investor's optimal portfolio is likely to change. In working out the details of these changes for expected utility maximizing investors, previous research has focused on portfolios composed of one risky and one riskless asset or two independent risky assets. This research considers portfolios where the risky returns can be stochastically dependent. Existing comparative static theorems are extended to the case of dependent risky returns with the independence assumption replaced by weaker restrictions.
