In financial mathematics and economics, a distortion risk measure is a type of risk measure which is related to the cumulative distribution function of the return of a financial portfolio.

Mathematical definition

The function associated with the distortion function is a distortion risk measure if for any random variable of gains (where is the Lp space) then

where is the cumulative distribution function for and is the dual distortion function . [1]

If almost surely then is given by the Choquet integral, i.e. [1] [2] Equivalently, [2] such that is the probability measure generated by , i.e. for any the sigma-algebra then . [3]

Properties

In addition to the properties of general risk measures, distortion risk measures also have:

  1. Law invariant: If the distribution of and are the same then .
  2. Monotone with respect to first order stochastic dominance.
    1. If is a concave distortion function, then is monotone with respect to second order stochastic dominance.
  3. is a concave distortion function if and only if is a coherent risk measure. [1] [2]

Examples

  • Value at risk is a distortion risk measure with associated distortion function [2] [3]
  • Conditional value at risk is a distortion risk measure with associated distortion function [2] [3]
  • The negative expectation is a distortion risk measure with associated distortion function . [1]
