This method enables us&nbsp;to utilize the information about mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis of a distribution. We&nbsp;demonstrate the risk measure of Huang et al. (2012) provides sufficient information for the&nbsp;investment decision of all constant absolute risk averse investors in the traditional portfolio&nbsp;selection model. A trading strategy is then constructed with respect to this measure. Our&nbsp;empirical results show that this trading strategy outperforms buy-and-hold trading strategy&nbsp;during sample period from January 2001 to October 2009, and conclude that information&nbsp;of higher order moments are valuable for invest decisions.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div>
