4 Motivation 1-3 VaR and ES Value at Risk (VaR) Basel III Not coherent Coherence Expected Shortfall (ES) Basel Committee (214) Coherent, focus on tail structure ES Denition Example: Deutsche Bank - risk levels {.2,.1,.1}, Kalkbrenner et al. (214)

5 Motivation 1-4 Quantile VaR Figure 3: Distribution of returns, VaR.5 remains unchanged under 25 chang- 21 ing tail structure, clouding the investors risk perception

6 Motivation 1-5 Objectives (i) Understanding Expected Shortfall (ES) Extreme events and associated risk Distributional environments - implications (ii) TERES Tail driven risk assessment, robustness of ES Advantages of expectiles

7 Motivation 1-6 Tail Risk Example: 28 subprime mortgage crisis S&P 5 long position in 28 (261 daily returns) Quantication of the 1% portfolio risk Scenario analysis, µ =.2, σ =.25 Scenario (i) Normal distribution VaR = 5.9%, ES = 6.8% Scenario (ii) Laplace distribution VaR = 1.%, ES = 12.5%

8 Motivation 1-7 Tail Risk Normal distribution VaR ES Laplace distribution VaR ES -2.4 Dynamics ES Estimated VaR and ES in % for S&P 5 index returns atlevel α =

9 Motivation 1-8 Research Questions What are the thrills for ES estimation? What are the robustness properties of ES? Which risk range is expected under dierent tail scenarios?

10 Outline 1. Motivation 2. Expected Shortfall 3. TERES Conclusions

11 Expected Shortfall 2-1 Expected Shortfall Financial returns Y pdf f (y) and cdf F (y) Here: lower tail (downside) risk Expected shortfall s η = E[Y Y < η] Basel: Value at Risk threshold η = q α = F 1 (α)

12 Expected Shortfall 2-2 Expectiles ES estimation Using expectiles, Taylor (28) Expectiles reect the tail structure Loss function ρ α,γ (u) = α I {u < } u γ (1) Expectile e α = arg min E ρ α,2 (Y θ) θ Quantile q α = arg min E ρ α,1 (Y θ) θ

13 Expected Shortfall 2-3 Loss Function u ES 6 Dynamics u Figure 4: Expectile and quantile loss functions at α =.1 (left) and α =.5 (right) LQRcheck

14 Expected Shortfall 2-4 Tail Structure Quantiles and expectiles - one-to-one mapping Goal: e w(α) = q α Find expectile level w (α) Details ES using expectiles, Taylor (28) Proof s qα = e w(α) + e w(α) E[Y ] w(α) 1 2w(α) α

15 Expected Shortfall 2-5 Expectiles and Quantiles Jones (1993), Guo and Härdle (211) Analytical formula for level w(α) Details Assumption: known return distribution F ( ) Example, N(, 1) w(α) = ϕ(q α ) q α α {ϕ(q α ) + q α α} + q α E[Y ]

16 Expected Shortfall 2-6 Sensitivity Analysis For the more general framework given in (1) Proof w(α, γ) = qα y q α γ 1 df (y) y q α γ 1 df (y), γ 1 Quantile case w(α, 1) = α, convergence in γ y q α > 1: exponential convergence towards α asγ 1 y q α < 1: root convergence
