Decision theory is used to choose a portfolio. Elicitation methods was used based on the utility function and from expert opinion thus, enabling the creation of a utility function for the investor and another for the a priori distribution on economic indicators. The model chosen for an investment portfolio was formulated based on decision theory, incorporating aspects of systematic and unsystematic risk. The model was developed so as to structure an effcient way to understand the application of decision theory in the financial market as well as the application of the Imprecise Dirichlet Model-IDM. The IDM allows the use of imprecise probability. Finally, the IDM was compared to the Markowitz method and also, to the decision model, using only expert opinion, considering an allocation over time to verify which of the three models was the best one. The final conclusion is that expert opinion should not be neglected in her compiling a portfolio.
