are shown in the table below under two different market conditions, along with the investors prediction for the probability
of each market condition. The investor's prediction for the probability of each market condition. The investor's utility
function can be represented as U(w) - square root (w). If the investor maximises their expected utility, which alternative
would they choose?
Portfolio A
Portfolio B
Bull Market Bear Market
