Numerical methods for lambda quantiles: robust evaluation and portfolio optimisation

Lambda quantiles, originally introduced as lambda value at risk, generalise the classical value at risk by allowing for a variable confidence level. This work presents efficient algorithms for computing lambda quantiles and demonstrates their application in portfolio optimisation. We first develop a

Ranking Metrics: Extending Acceptability and Performance Indexes

This paper develops an axiomatic framework for ranking metrics, a general class of functionals for evaluating and ordering financial or insurance positions. Unlike traditional risk-adjusted performance measures-such as the Sharpe ratio, RAROC, or Omega-that express reward per unit of risk, ranking m

Constructing elicitable risk measures

We provide a constructive way of defining new elicitable risk measures that are characterised by a multiplicative scoring function. We show that depending on the choice of the scoring function’s components, the resulting risk measure possesses properties such as monotonicity, translation invariance,
