Why should one-period underwriing reurn be correc meric for performance? Pricing while avoiding he "rigors of he pricing projec"? (Vener, 2010)

If risk emerges from counerpary risk aversion, he correc risk measure akes an unconvenional form (generally no coheren or convex!): { } ρ(x) = exp E Q [X]. In muli-period conex, he componens of RORAC need o be redefined: Redefine reurn: Expeced reurn calculaions mus consider non-acuarial sources of coss (capial more or less cosly depending on loss realizaion) Redefine capial: "Capial" has o be conceived more broadly o include coningen sources of financing Redefine he benchmark: The cos of capial has o be adjused similarly a arge ROE on book equiy is no longer appropriae Differen developmen years "discouned" a differen raes, depending on company capializaion
