    Abstract

    Employing a mean-variance framework and a multivariate GARCH model, the degree of risk aversion exhibited by Irish fund managers is estimated. Managers whose remit is ‘aggressive’ or ‘balanced’ management of their portfolios have coefficients lying between 1.69–2.42 and 3.24–3.69 respectively
