Abstract
This paper investigates the robustness of the conventional mean-variance (MV) optimization model by making two adjustments within the MV formulation. First, the portfolio selection based on a behavioral decision-making theory that encapsulates the MV statistics and investors psychology. The second aspect involves capturing the portfolio asset dependence structure through copula. Using the behavioral MV (BMV) and the copula behavioral MV (CBMV), the results show that stocks with lower behavioral scores outperform counterpart portfolios with higher behavioral scores. On the other hand, in the Forex market, the reverse is observed for the BMV approach, while the CBMV remains consistent.
