    VaR is defined as the expected maximum loss (or worst loss) over a target horizon within a given confident level. In this paper, we use a portfolio selection model suggested by Telser [1955], which allocates financial assets by maximizing expected return subject to the VaR constraint set by the fund manager. We show that the optimal asset allocation under VaR constraint provide the identical result to the mean-variance decision. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that the degree of the shortfall probability plays a crucial role in determining the effects of the choice between fat-tailed and a normal distribution. The results highlight the influence of non-normal characteristics of the expected return distribution.
