New method allocates capital based on tail central moments for financial risk assessment.
Study systemic risk measures and capital allocation rules, showing commonalities.
New risk-sharing rules induced by capital allocation principles.
A Nash game theory approach allocates capital requirements among financial institutions.
Paper introduces a new method for allocating capital based on risk measures from ruin theory.
Facing the FRTB, banks need to allocate their capital to each business units or risk positions to evaluate the capital efficiency of their strategies. This paper proposes two computationally efficient allocation methods which are weighted according to liquidity horizon. Both methods provide more stable and less negativ…
In this paper, we provide a representation theorem for dynamic capital allocation under It{ô}-L{é}vy model. We consider the representation of dynamic risk measures defined under Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDE) with generators that grow quadratic-exponentially in the control variables. Dynamic capital …
Paper uses a new copula to model risk aggregation and capital allocation.
The paper analyzes insurance pricing and capital allocation in imperfect markets.
Solvency II Directive 2009/138/EC requires an insurance and reinsurance undertakings assessment of a Solvency Capital Requirement by means of the so-called "Standard Formula" or by means of partial or full internal models. Focusing on the first approach, the bottom-up aggregation formula proposed by the regulator permi…
Capital allocation principles are used in various contexts in which a risk capital or a cost of an aggregate position has to be allocated among its constituent parts. We study capital allocation principles in a performance measurement framework. We introduce the notation of suitability of allocations for performance me…
The financial crisis showed the importance of measuring, allocating and regulating systemic risk. Recently, the systemic risk measures that can be decomposed into an aggregation function and a scalar measure of risk, received a lot of attention. In this framework, capital allocations are added after aggregation and can…
The European insurance sector will soon be faced with the application of Solvency 2 regulation norms. It will create a real change in risk management practices. The ORSA approach of the second pillar makes the capital allocation an important exercise for all insurers and specially for groups. Considering multi-branches…
Statistical fields model explains capital allocation and accumulation among firms and investors.
The paper analyzes risk measures and optimal reserve allocation strategies.
In this paper we develop a novel methodology for estimation of risk capital allocation. The methodology is rooted in the theory of risk measures. We work within a general, but tractable class of law-invariant coherent risk measures, with a particular focus on expected shortfall. We introduce the concept of fair capital…
In this paper we introduce a new coherent cumulative risk measure on , the space of càdlàg processes having Laplace transform. This new coherent risk measure turns out to be tractable enough within a class of models where the aggregate claims is driven by a spectrally positive Lévy process. Moreover, w…
Dynamic model considers private asset markets' complexities.
New method for risk allocation under multimodality of loss distribution.
Decentralised fund framework allocates capital via tokenised vaults.
Despite the fact that the Euler allocation principle has been adopted by many financial institutions for their internal capital allocation process, a comprehensive description of Euler allocation seems still to be missing. We try to fill this gap by presenting the theoretical background as well as practical aspects. In…
Model explains capital allocation and wealth distribution dynamics in a frictional economy.
OpenAlpha validates decentralized capital strategies using game theory and market aggregation.
The paper translates economic models into a field formalism to study capital accumulation and its fluctuations.
In this paper, we address the aggregation of dependent stop loss reinsurance risks where the dependence among the ceding insurer(s) risks is governed by the Sarmanov distribution and each individual risk belongs to the class of Erlang mixtures. We investigate the effects of the ceding insurer(s) risk dependencies on th…
This research improves forecasting and testing of risk contributions using Expected Shortfall.
In this paper we assume a multivariate risk model has been developed for a portfolio and its capital derived as a homogeneous risk measure. The Euler (or gradient) principle, then, states that the capital to be allocated to each component of the portfolio has to be calculated as an expectation conditional to a rare eve…
The paper introduces a new class of multivariate mixtures for actuarial applications.
Financial institutions are currently required to meet more stringent capital requirements than they were before the recent financial crisis; in particular, the capital requirement for a large bank's trading book under the Basel 2.5 Accord more than doubles that under the Basel II Accord. The significant increase in cap…
This paper examines if CTE risk measure aligns with profit-maximizing risk capital allocations.
The aim of this paper is to introduce a method for computing the allocated Solvency II Capital Requirement (SCR) of each Risk which the company is exposed to, taking in account for the diversification effect among different risks. The method suggested is based on the Euler principle. We show that it has very suitable p…
We consider the risk sharing problem for capital requirements induced by capital adequacy tests and security markets. The agents involved in the sharing procedure may be heterogeneous in that they apply varying capital adequacy tests and have access to different security markets. We discuss conditions under which there…
Paper uses deep learning for systemic risk measures.
We formulate banks' capital optimization problem as a classic mean variance optimization, by leveraging an accurate linear approximation to the Shapely or Constrained Aumann-Shapley (CAS) allocation of max or nested max cost functions. This reduced form formulation admits an analytical solution, to the optimal leverage…
We introduce a statistical model for operational losses based on heavy-tailed distributions and bipartite graphs, which captures the event type and business line structure of operational risk data. The model explicitly takes into account the Pareto tails of losses and the heterogeneous dependence structures between the…
This study examines the execution phase of corporate share buy-backs, highlighting inefficiencies and costs.
If the probability of default parameters (PDs) fed as input into a credit portfolio model are estimated as through-the-cycle (TTC) PDs stressed market conditions have little impact on the results of the capital calculations conducted with the model. At first glance, this is totally different if the PDs are estimated as…
Paper introduces a framework for managing cyber risk with insurance and cybersecurity models.
The minimization of some multivariate risk indicators may be used as an allocation method, as proposed in Cénac et al. [6]. The aim of capital allocation is to choose a point in a simplex, according to a given criterion. In a previous paper [17] we proved that the proposed allocation technique satisfies a set of cohere…
The financial crisis has dramatically demonstrated that the traditional approach to apply univariate monetary risk measures to single institutions does not capture sufficiently the perilous systemic risk that is generated by the interconnectedness of the system entities and the corresponding contagion effects. This has…
The paper shows vector-valued risk measures ignore dependence structures.
We use the theory of coherent measures to look at the problem of surplus sharing in an insurance business. The surplus share of an insured is calculated by the surplus premium in the contract. The theory of coherent risk measures and the resulting capital allocation gives a way to divide the surplus between the insured…
The economic equities maximization criterion (MFPE) leads to the choice of financial portfolio, which maximizes the ratio of the expected value of the insurance company on the capital. This criterion is presented in the framework of a non-life insurance company and is applied within the framework of the French legislat…
The aim of this paper is to compare two asset allocation methods for a pension scheme during the decumulation phase in the simplified portfolio selection between a risky asset following a geometric Brownian motion and a riskless asset. The two asset allocation criteria are the ruin probability of the insurance company …
