Extract

Bawa [3] has argued that mean-lower partial moment portfolio selection rules are more general than mean-variance rules in that they rely on fewer restrictive assumptions regarding investor utility functions and/or distributions of security returns. As with the mean-variance model, it is possible to formulate equilibrium security prices under the assumption that expected utility-maximizing investors utilize mean-lower partial moment portfolio selection rules. This paper has investigated the empirical relationship between the resultant mean-lower partial moment pricing model and the long established mean-variance pricing model.
