Abstract

The comparative statics of the optimal portfolios across individuals is carried out for the Black-Scholes market model. It turns out that the indirect utility functions inherit the order of risk aversion (in the Arrow-Pratt sense) from the von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions, and therefore, a more risk-averse agent would invest less wealth (in absolute value) in the risky asset.
