Abstract
Mean–variance optimization is so well accepted that we often take it for granted. In this article the authors examine the impact of relaxing its assumptions in a fixed– income context. They examine particularly whether the substantial overweighting of non–Treasury bonds that is recommended in a mean–variance context holds up under alternative return distributions and utility functions. They also show how to incorporate scenario forecasting into an optimization framework.
