This paper studies capital allocation problems with the aggregate risk exceeding a certain threshold. We propose a novel capital allocation rule based on the Tail Mean–Variance principle. General formulas for the optimal capital allocations are proposed. Explicit formulas for optimal capital...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how risk capital can be calculated and allocated in a multi-year context. This is an important issue, since strategic management and decision making within insurance companies require a multi-year time horizon (instead of a one-year time...

Financial institutions are expected to play a crucial role in reallocating resources in favor of industries facing greater global and local shocks to growth opportunities. Fisman and Love, in their paper entitled “Financial development and intersectoral allocation: A new approach”, argue...

One possible way of risk management for an insurance company is to develop an early and appropriate alarm system before the possible ruin. The ruin is defined through the status of the aggregate risk process, which in turn is determined by premium accumulation as well as claim settlement outgo...

In this paper, we consider a portfolio of n dependent risks X1,…,Xn and we study the stochastic behavior of the aggregate claim amount S=X1+⋯+Xn. Our objective is to determine the amount of economic capital needed for the whole portfolio and to compute the amount of capital to be allocated...

In this paper, we study the finite-time ruin probability in a reasonably generalized dual risk model, where we assume any non-negative non-decreasing cumulative operational cost function and arbitrary capital gains arrival process. Establishing an enlightening link between this dual risk model...

We present a novel asset pricing model that captures the investment wisdom and stock-selection approach of the long-term value-investors Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett. Taking a longer term view of business prospects and business risks, we explicitly consider the time period in which a...

Quality in the capital allocation process is of utmost relevance in securing and sustaining economic performance and corporate goals. The correct characterisation of uncertainties across the opportunity set is critical in achieving optimal capital allocation decisions. Real projects are...

We generalize existing structural models for credit risk to capture the impact of counterparty defaults on economic capital allocated to banks’ loan portfolios. Exploring the analogy to a lattice gas model from physics, correlations between sequential defaults are modeled as due to...
