A RE-FORMULATION
TRADITIONAL (Minimum Variance) Formulation

![]()
![]()
![]()
Here r0 is a target rate of return. This is varied parametrically from 0 up to the maximum of the ris.
MODERN (Maximum CE-Value) Formulation

![]()
![]()
Here t is the risk tolerance in the exponential utility function. It is varied parametrically from 0+ up until the allocation is made entirely to the category having the maximum ri.
NOTE: Both parametric variations yield the identically same Mean-Variance Efficient Frontier.
