Robust Bayesian Portfolio Optimisation: Higher Moments and the Distorting Effects of Constraints by Wilson, Byron

“…In particular, a major shortcoming of the Black-Litterman model is the normality of returns assumption. Robust estimates of higher moments and comoments (co-skewness and co-kurtosis) are introduced and implemented within the Black-Litterman framework, thereby enabling the investor to express preferences for skewness and kurtosis as well as avoiding the pitfall of large negative returns that typically occur with a greater frequency than what is suggested by the normal distribution. …”
