Leptokurtotic tails of data distributions and contamination of data with outliers in financial time series are the reasons for adapting robust methods to constructing effective investment portfolios. In this paper we present the sensitivity analysis of selected robust estimators of volatility and the classification of generated investment portfolios with respect to chosen robust estimators.
