Under the assumption that individuals are single-period maximizers of the expected utility of their future wealth, this essay extends the mean-variance security valuation model developed by Sharpe [10], Lintner [4, 5, and 6], and Mossin [7 and 8] to a general parameter-preference model, with and without the simplifications of homogeneous subjective probabilities and the existence of a risk-free security. Results with quadratic and cubic utility are developed as special cases.
