Alice and Bob are both starting with a unit initial wealth: W = 1. They are looking to invest their entire wealth in an investment with two possible outcomes: a return of 55.7%, with probability 0.5, or a return of -55.7%. Alice evaluates the investment using a constant relative risk aversion utility function U (x)=√x. Bob's utility is given by U (x) = ln (x).
