Cover Story: Markowitz’s mean-variance model for portfolio optimization has come under constant criticism, primarily due to the fact that the adequacy of using variance as a measure of risk and the importance of correlation coefficients at the time of market decline are questionable. Based on the tools provided by game theory, it is possible to form a model that only measures downside risk and has theoretical advantages. However, empirical ones need to be considered. If we observe weekly returns of stocks in the European capital market over the period 2000–2020, including three bear market periods and including the period of market decline during the COVID-19 crisis, we can obtain an answer. View this paper
