The aim of this work is to study links between the techniques of utility maximization and optimal mean variance portfolios. We expect that the optimal mean variance portfolio corresponds to the Taylor approximation of the utility maximization problem. One should examine this link and illustrate the quality of this approximation on specific examples, primarily on discrete distributions.
