Portfolio Tail Risk: A Multivariate Extreme Value Theory Approach

Abstract: This paper develops a method for assessing portfolio tail risk based on extreme value theory. The technique applies separate estimations of univariate series and allows for closed-form expressions for Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall. Its forecasting ability is tested on a portfolio of U.S. stocks. The in-sample goodness-of-fit tests indicate that the proposed approach is better suited for portfolio risk modeling under extreme market movements than comparable multivariate parametric methods. Backtesting ac… Show more

“…The extreme values are the focus of extreme value theory (EVT), which enables evaluation and risk prediction of the occurrence of extreme values. EVT has been applied to analyze the possibility that severe events may occur in a variety of domains (such as financial risk [12][13][14][15], hydrological and environmental forecasts [16][17][18][19][20][21], road traffic etc.). In contrast, there haven't been many cases of EVT being applied to public health [22].…”

“…The EVT has had a vast array of applications. It covers, among many others, environmental data [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], risk management [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], but also earthquake size distribution [19] and athletic records [20].…”
