1 Allocation to Riky Aet 6- Rik Averion and Capital Allocation to Riky Aet Invetor will avoid rik unle there i a reward. The utility model give the optimal allocation between a riky portfolio and a rik-free aet. Rik and Rik Averion 6-3 Rik and Rik Averion 6-4 Speculation Taking coniderable rik for a commenurate gain artie have heterogeneou expectation Gamble Bet or wager on an uncertain outcome for enjoyment artie aign the ame probabilitie to the poible outcome

What happen when return increae with rik? ach portfolio receive a utility core to ae the invetor rik/return trade off Utility Function 6-7 Table 6.
