The authors obtained the value of the risk coefficient for which the problem of maximizing the expectation of the portfolio return with a probabilistic risk function constraint is equivalent to the maximizing the linear convolution of the criteria “expectation — variance”. Results of the study are demonstrated on specific data using the developed tools.
