contents We investigate an expected utility maximization problem under model uncertainty in a one-period financial market. We capture model uncertainty by replacing the baseline model $\mathbb{P}$ with an adverse choice from a Wasserstein ball of radius $k$ around $\mathbb{P}$ in the space of probability measures and consider the corresponding Wasserstein distributionally robust optimization problem. We show that optimal solutions converge to a strategy with minimal norm when uncertainty is increasingly large, i.e. when the radius $k$ tends to infinity.
