Scientific discussion on portfolio selection has been massively influenced by Markowitz? seminal work introducing the Mean-Variance-Framework. However, with returns mostly not being normally distributed and having fat tails, variance is an inappropriate risk measure not reflecting the risks of assets sufficiently. Consequently, alternatives like resampling and advanced risk measures such as conditional value at risk and lower partial moments have been developed to overcome shortcomings in the Markowitz model.
