Abstract

Idiosyncratic security risks are modelled as following a joint spherical distribution characterized by a mean vector and a generalized covariance matrix. Skewness is generated by a single factor for the whole economy, but upon which different securities have different loadings. This results in three-fund separation—two funds to span the spherical risk and one more fund to span the additional skewness risk. A three-parameter normative portfolio analysis that allows short sales restrictions is developed. In addition, a three-parameter capital asset pricing model is provided.

The generous support for this work is most gratefully acknowledged. The author is also much indebted to his colleagues Professors Bishop, Christenson, Kahr, Raiffa, and (especially) Schlaifer, for extensive discussion and commentary on an earlier draft of this paper; but responsibility for any errors or imperfections remains strictly his own.[Professor Sharpe's paper, “Capital Asset Prices: A Theory of Market Equilibrium Under Conditions of Risk” (Journal of Finance, September 1964) appeared after this paper was in final form and on its way to the printers. My first section, which parallels the first half of his paper (with corresponding conclusions), sets the algebraic framework for sections II, III and VI, (which have no counterpart in his paper) and for section IV on the equilibrium prices of risk assets, concerning which our results differ significantly for reasons which will be explored elsewhere. Sharpe does not take up the capital budgeting problem developed in section V below.]1959Portfolio Selection: Efficient Diversification of Investments 1972Capital Market Equilibrium with Restricted Borrowing 1988Theory of Financial Decision Making.1976SKEWNESS PREFERENCE AND THE VALUATION OF RISK ASSETS*1969The Efficiency Analysis of Choices Involving Risk 1982Arbitrage, Factor Structure, and Mean-Variance Analysis on Large Asset Markets
