Safety-first portfolio optimization: Fixed versus random target
Singer, Nico - 2010

Imperfect predictability and mutual fund dynamics. How managers use predictors in changing systematic risk.
Amisano, Gianni; Savona, Roberto - 2008

The Appeal of Risky Assets
Stolper, Anno - 2010
A fund's performance is usually compared to the performance of an index or other funds. If a fund trails the benchmark, the fund manager is often replaced. We argue that this may lead to excessive risk-taking if fund managers differ in ability and have the opportunity to take excessive risk. To...
