1 ranslation invariant and positive homogeneous risk measures and portfolio management 1 Zinoviy Landsman Department of Statistics, University of Haifa

2 -It is wide-spread opinion the use of any positive homogeneous and translation invariant risk measure reduces to the same portfolio management as mean-variance risk measure does, which is euivalent to Markowitz portfolio -We show that generally speaking it is not true, because these measures reduce to a different optimization problem. 2

3 -We provide the explicit closed form solution of this problem -he results will be demonstrated with the data of stocks from NASDAQ/Computer. 3

4 ranslation invariant and positive homogeneous risk measures 1) ρ( X + α) = ρ( X) + α, α const 2) ρ( cx) = cρ( X), c > 0 const 4

36 Conclusion -Problem of minimization of translation invariant and positive homogeneous risk measures has exact close form solution -his solution can be easy realized and used for analyzing the influence of parameters of underlying distribution on the portfolio selecting 36

37 -he solution is different with that of mean-variance except the case when the portfolio s expected mean is certain 37
