If all opportunities (and combinations) ‘equally’ (jointly) fat-tailed. Same answers as traditional mean-variance optimisation, but with risk budget adjusted accordingly. If different combinations exhibit differential fat-tailed behaviour. Portfolio construction ought in principle to change, if you can reliably estimate these differentials (and if investors don’t have quadratic utility functions)
