Expected shortfall (ES) is a risk measure, a concept used in finance (and more specifically in the field of financial risk measurement) to evaluate the market risk or credit risk of a portfolio. It is an alternative to value at risk that is more sensitive to the shape of the loss distribution in the tail of the distribution. The "expected shortfall at q% level" is the expected return on the portfolio in the worst % of the cases. Expected shortfall is also called conditional value at risk (CVaR), average value at risk (AVaR), and expected tail loss (ETL). ES evaluates the value (or risk) of an investment in a conservative way, focusing on the less profitable outcomes. For high values of it ignores the most profitable but unlikely possibilities, for small values of it focuses on the worst losses. On the other hand, unlike the discounted maximum loss even for lower values of expected shortfall does not consider only the single most catastrophic outcome. A value of often used in practice is 5%. Expected shortfall is a coherent, and moreover a spectral, measure of financial portfolio risk. It requires a quantile-level , and is defined to be the expected loss of portfolio value given that a loss is occurring at or below the -quantile. == Formal definition == If (an Lp space) is the payoff of a portfolio at some future time and then we define the expected shortfall as where is the Value at risk. This can be equivalently written as where is the lower -quantile and is the indicator function. The dual representation is : where is the set of probability measures which are absolutely continuous to the physical measure such that almost surely. Note that is the Radon–Nikodym derivative of with respect to . If the underlying distribution for is a continuous distribution then the expected shortfall is equivalent to the tail conditional expectation defined by .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Average Value at Risk )〕 Informally, and non rigorously, this equation amounts to saying "in case of losses so severe that they occur only alpha percent of the time, what is our average loss". Expected shortfall can also be written as a distortion risk measure given by the distortion function 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「expected shortfall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
