Abstract: This article proposes a non-parametric portfolio selection criterion for the static asset allocation problem in a robust higher-moment framework. Adopting the Shortage Function approach, we generalize the multi-objective optimization technique in a four-dimensional space using L-moments, and focus on various illustrations of a four-dimensional set of the first four L-moment primal efficient portfolios. our empirical findings, using a large European stock database, mainly rediscover the earlier works by Jean (1973) and Ingersoll (1975), regarding the shape of the extended higher-order moment efficient frontier, and confirm the seminal prediction by Levy and Markowitz (1979) about the accuracy of the mean-variance criterion.

Keywords: Efficient frontier; portfolio selection; robust higher L-moments; shortage function; goal attainment application.; goal attainment application; Frontière efficiente; sélection de portefeuille; moment d'ordre supérieur robuste; L-moment; fonction de pénurie.
