Abstract | We derive the conditions for optimal portfolio choice within an expected utility framework considering alternative probability distributions that are able to capture the stylized features of asset returns at different degrees of accuracy. We show the importance of higher-order moments in the optimal decision on liquidity and relate them with the risk preference properties of riskiness, prudence and temperance. |
