Coherent allocation of risk capital∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The allocation problem stems from the diversification effect observed in risk measurements of financial portfolios: the sum of the “risks” of many portfolios is larger than the “risk” of the sum of the portfolios. The allocation problem is to apportion this diversification advantage to the portfolios in a fair manner, yielding, for each portfolio, a risk appraisal that accounts for diversification. Our approach is axiomatic, in the sense that we first argue for the necessary properties of an allocation principle, and then consider principles that fulfill the properties. Important results from the area of game theory find a direct application. Our main result is that the Aumann-Shapley value is both a coherent and practical approach to financial risk allocation.

On the Capital Allocation Problem for a New Coherent Risk Measure in Collective Risk Theory
In this paper we introduce a new coherent cumulative risk measure on a subclass in the space of càdlàg processes. 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. We focus our motivation and discussion on the problem of capital allocation. Indeed, this risk measure is well-suited ...
متن کاملRisk capital allocation by coherent risk measures based on one-sided moments ¬リニ
This paper proposes differentiability properties for positively homogeneous risk measures which ensure that the gradient can be applied for reasonable risk capital allocation on non-trivial portfolios. It is shown that these properties are fulfilled for a wide class of coherent risk measures based on the mean and the one-sided moments of a risky payoff. In contrast to quantile-based risk measur...
متن کاملRisk capital allocation and cooperative pricing of insurance liabilities
The Aumann–Shapley [Values of Non-atomic Games, Princeton University Press, Princeton] value, originating in cooperative game theory, is used for the allocation of risk capital to portfolios of pooled liabilities, as proposed by Denault [Coherent allocation of risk capital, J. Risk 4 (1) (2001) 1]. We obtain an explicit formula for the Aumann–Shapley value, when the risk measure is given by a d...
متن کاملThe center of a convex set and capital allocation
A capital allocation scheme for a company that has a random total profit Y and uses a coherent risk measure ρ has been suggested. The scheme returns a unique real number Λρ(X ,Y ), which determines the capital that should be allocated to company’s subsidiary with random profit X . The resulting capital allocation is linear and diversifying as defined by Kalkbrener (2005). The problem is reduced...
متن کاملTVaR-based capital allocation with copulas
Because of regulation projects from control organizations such as the European solvency II reform and recent economic events, insurance companies need to consolidate their capital reserve with coherent amounts allocated to the whole company and to each line of business. The present study considers an insurance portfolio consisting of several lines of risk which are linked by a copula and aims t...
