Abstract
The main goal of this article is to examine risk aversion impact on
securities portfolio performance in underdeveloped capital markets.
For the purpose of this research, portfolio performance was taken
as a dependent variable, whereas investors’ attitude towards risk
was considered as an independent variable. The analysis results
have revealed that, ceteris paribus, an increase in risk aversion leads
to a decrease in expected return and the creation of more superior
securities portfolio. The article is expected to produce useful pieces
of information which might be helpful for investors in the process of
creating their portfolios in underdeveloped capital markets.
