Assuming the multiplicative background risk model, which has been a popular model due to its practical applicability and technical tractability, we develop a general framework for analyzing portfolio performance based on its subportfolios. Since the performance of subportfolios is easier to...

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...

Quantifying the economic capital and optimally allocating it into portfolios of financial instruments are two key topics in the asset/liability management (ALM) of an insurance company. In general these problems are studied in the literature by minimizing standard risk measures such as the value...

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...

We develop portfolio optimization problems to a non-life insurance company for finding the minimum capital required, which simultaneously satisfy solvency and portfolio performance constraints. Motivated by standard insurance regulations, we consider solvency capital requirements based on three...
