We develop parametric Entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR) portfolio optimization for tempered stable Lévy returns. We derive portfolio cumulant-generating functions and weight-dependent admissible moment-generating-function domains under two multivariate constructions: a multivariate normal tempered stable approach and an independent component factorization. These expressions allow portfolio EVaR to be evaluated from fitted asset- or component-level parameters without repeated portfolio-level distribution fitting. We construct minimum-EVaR portfolios and two entropic reward--risk portfolios. We test the portfolios in a rolling 2000 to 2026 out-of-sample U.S. sector ETF allocation. In this universe, several entropic portfolios have higher realized Sharpe ratios than their matched CVaR portfolios or standard allocation benchmarks.
