Clark, Ephraim A. and Jokung, Octave (1999) Asset proportions, stochastic dominance and the 50% rule. Management Science, 45 (12) . pp. 1724-1737. ISSN 0025-1909 [Article]

Abstract

In this note we analyze the composition of an optimal portfolio by considering the cumulative conditional expected outcome of two dependent assets. We develop a conditional stochastic dominance relation and show that for any concave von Neumann-Morgenstern utility function, the proportion of wealth invested in the dominant asset will be greater than 50%.
