Abstract 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 allocations and provide explicit formulae for fair capital allocations in case when the constituents of the risky portfolio are jointly normally distributed. The main… Expand

This work sheds a new and fundamental light on optimal estimation procedures of risk measures in terms of bias, and introduces a novel notion of unbiasedness to the estimation of risk which is motivated by economic principles. Expand
To split or not to split: Capital allocation with convex risk measures
Convex risk measures were introduced by Deprez and Gerber (1985). Here the problem of allocating risk capital to subportfolios is addressed, when aggregate capital is calculated by a convex riskExpand

An Axiomatic Approach to Capital Allocation
Capital allocation techniques are of central importance in portfolio management and risk-based performance measurement. In this paper we propose an axiom system for capital allocation and analyze itsExpand
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 definitionExpand
Coherence and Elicitability
The existing result of the nonelicitability of expected shortfall is extended to all law-invariant spectral risk measures unless they reduce to minus the expected value. Expand
Coherent Measures of Risk

In this paper we study both market risks and nonmarket risks, without complete markets assumption, and discuss methods of measurement of these risks. We present and justify a set of four desirableExpand

A dynamic model of the default waterfall of derivatives CCPs is introduced and a risk sensitive method for sizing the initial margin (IM), and the default fund (DF) and its allocation among clearing members is proposed. Expand
Techniques for Verifying the Accuracy of Risk Measurement Models
It does not appear possible for a bank or its supervisor to reliably verify the accuracy of an institution's internal model loss exposure estimates using standard statistical techniques, and the results have implications both for banks that wish to assess the accuracies of their internal risk measurement models as well as for supervisors who must verify the accurate estimate.
