Abstract

In this paper we construct and compare optimal global portfolios of bank stocks over four overlapping periods between 1973 and 2001 using conventional modern portfolio theory assumptions and loss-averse portfolio assumptions which are constructed to minimise the risk of a return less than zero. We investigate changes to the optimal portfolios when risk criteria is varied.
