Asymptotics for risk capital allocations based on Conditional Tail Expectation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An investigation of the limiting behavior of a risk capital allocation rule based on the Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) risk measure is carried out. More specifically, with the help of general notions of Extreme Value Theory (EVT), the aforementioned risk capital allocation is shown to be asymptotically proportional to the corresponding Value-at-Risk (VaR) risk measure. The existing methodology acquired for VaR can therefore be applied to a somewhat less well-studied CTE. In the context of interest, the EVT approach is seemingly well-motivated by modern regulations, which openly strive for the excessive prudence in determining risk capitals. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Risk capital decomposition for a multivariate dependent gamma portfolio
This paper examines the tail conditional expectation risk measure (TCE) in the case of a multivariate gamma portfolio of risks. Explicit formulas for both the TCE and the risk capital allocations based on it are provided in the context of the multivariate model possessing dependent gamma marginals. Some of our results exceed the frameworks of the multivariate gamma distributions and may be appl...
متن کاملEvaluating Risk Measures and Capital Allocations Based on Multi-Losses Driven by a Heavy-Tailed Background Risk: The Multivariate Pareto-II Model
Evaluating risk measures, premiums, and capital allocation based on dependent multi-losses is a notoriously difficult task. In this paper, we demonstrate how this can be successfully accomplished when losses follow the multivariate Pareto distribution of the second kind, which is an attractive model for multi-losses whose dependence and tail heaviness are influenced by a heavy-tailed background...
متن کاملInternal vs. external risk measures: How capital requirements differ in practice
We compare capital requirements derived by tail conditional expectation (TCE) with those derived by tail conditional median (TCM) and find that there is no clear-cut relationship between these two measures in empirical data. Our results highlight the relevance of TCM as a robust alternative to TCE, especially for regulatory control.
