چکیده

In this talk, we focus on a convex risk measure which is induced by the shortfall risk, which is defined as the weighted expectation by some loss function of the positive part of the difference between a claim and a portfolio value at the maturity of our market. The convex risk measure concerned in this talk expresses the least cost to suppress its shortfall risk below the threshold being determined beforehand. Consider an incomplete financial market being composed of one riskless asset and d risky assets. The fluctuation of the risky assets is described by an RCLL semimartingale S, which is possibly non-locally bounded. Let l be a loss function, that is, an R+-valued continuous non-decreasing convex function defined on R. We assume that l(x) = 0 if x ≤ 0, and l(x) > 0 if x > 0. Let Θ be a predictably convex subset of S-integrable predictable processes which means the set of all admissible strategies, and GT (θ) := ∫ T 0 θsdSs. Recall that, when the price of a claim H and the hedging strategy are given by x ∈ R and θ ∈ Θ respectively, the shortfall risk with a loss function l for sellers is expressed by E[l(−x − GT (θ) + H)]. If we denote by X the collection of all claims, the acceptance set A0 on X with a level δ > 0 should be defined as

Optional decomposition for continuous semimartingales under arbitrary filtrations

We present an elementary treatment of the Optional Decomposition Theorem for continuous semimartingales and general filtrations. This treatment does not assume the existence of equivalent local martingale measure(s), only that of strictly positive local martingale deflator(s).

On the coherence of Expected Shortfall

Expected Shortfall (ES) in several variants has been proposed as remedy for the deficiencies of Value-at-Risk (VaR) which in general is not a coherent risk measure. In fact, most definitions of ES lead to the same results when applied to continuous loss distributions. Differences may appear when the underlying loss distributions have discontinuities. In this case even the coherence property of ...

Expected Shortfall and Beyond

Abstract. Financial institutions have to allocate so-called economic capital in order to guarantee solvency to their clients and counter parties. Mathematically speaking, any methodology of allocating capital is a risk measure, i.e. a function mapping random variables to the real numbers. Nowadays value-atrisk, which is defined as a fixed level quantile of the random variable under consideratio...

Allocating Portfolio Economic Capital to Sub-Portfolios

Risk adjusted performance measurement for a portfolio involves calculating the contributions to total economic capital for sub-portfolios or single assets. We show that there is only one definition for the contributions which is suitable for performance measurement, namely as derivative of the underlying risk measure with respect to the weight of the considered sub-portfolio or asset. We review...

The Evaluation of Systemic Risk in the Iran Banking System by Marginal Expected Shortfall (MES) Criterion

Today, Systemic Risk is being analyzed as one of the major issues in financial institutions. Banks are one of the institutions that can be linked to systemic risk based on global experience. Therefore, in the study, we evaluate the systemic risk in the banking system of the country via the marginal expected shortfall (MES) criterion. For the purpose of the present study, 17 banks listed on the ...
