Q

what is the formula for the markowitz utility?

A

utility = 𝜇 - 0.5ρ𝜎^2
𝜇 = M × 𝑅^𝑚 + (1 − M) × 𝑅
𝑠 = (1 − 𝑀)𝜎
where:
μ- return on portfolio;
s- standard deviation of the return of portfolio;
ρ- risk aversion parameter
R-return on risky asset
σ- standard deviation of risky asset
1-total investment
M- share of money in portfolio
(1-M)- share of risky asset
R^m-return on money
