We study portfolio selection under Conditional Value-at-Risk and, as its natural extension, spectral risk measures, and compare it with traditional mean–variance analysis. Unlike the previous literature that considers an investor’s mean-spectral risk preferences for the choice of optimal...

We study portfolio selection using Conditional Value-at-Risk and, as its natural extension, spectral risk measures instead of the variance. We do not focus only on the derivation of the efficient frontiers, but also consider the choice of optimal portfolios within an integrated framework. We...
