N2 - This paper examines the effects of higher-order risk attitudes and statistical moments on the optimal allocation of risky assets within the standard portfolio choice model. We derive the expressions for the optimal proportion of wealth invested in the risky asset to show they are functions of portfolio returns third- and fourth-order moments as well as on the investor's risk preferences of prudence and temperance. We illustrate the relative importance that the introduction of those higher-order effcts have in the decision of expected utility maximizers using data for the US.
