Abstract

Abstract This study suggests an approach to investment risk analysis which provides a useful complement to more detailed analyses. The analyst specifies an appropriate distribution of cash flows and associated utility function from one of the four models suggested. Next, the risk adjusted present value of the investment stream is calculated using the simplified procedure outlined in the paper. Sensitivity analysis is then performed on the results to determine whether a more extensive analysis of the decision maker's risk preferences is called for.
