Mean-variance versus direct utility maximization: A comment

DW Reid, BV Tew - The Journal of Finance, 1986 - JSTOR
Subsequently, Pulley [4] demonstrates that IKLM is not invariant to the value of ENU, although
it is invariant to linear transformations of the utility function. Pulley suggests that utility …
