Rogers & Shi (1995) have used the technique of conditional expectations to derive approximations for the distribution of a sum of lognormals. In this paper we extend their results to more general sums of random variables. In particular we study sums of functions of dependent random variables...

In this paper, we derive upper and lower bounds on the Range Value-at-Risk of the portfolio loss when we only know its mean and variance, and its feature of unimodality. In a first step, we use some classic results on stochastic ordering to reduce this optimization problem to a parametric one,...

In Section 2 of Bernard et al. (2020), we study bounds on Range Value-at-Risk (RVaR) under the assumption of non-negative risk. However, Proposition 3 is erroneous, and hence Theorems 3, 4, and 5 and Corollary 5 are no longer valid. In this corrigendum, we provide a direct replacement of these...

We derive upper and lower bounds for the Range Value-at-Risk of a unimodal random variable under knowledge of the mean, variance, symmetry, and a possibly bounded support. Moreover, we provide a generalization of the Gauss inequality for symmetric distributions with known support
