Krep's Marginal Risk Approach Formula

(ruin theory approach)

Definition

V= zS-R

  • V=Surplus
  • S=Standard deviation of loss portfolio
  • R = Return in dollars
  • Z= Standard normal prob of ruin
Term
Krep's Calculate a marginal surplus need S1-S
Definition

=σ(2SC+σ)/(S1+S)

=V1-V=Z(S1-S)-r

r=return on additional risk

σ = standard deviaton of new risk

C=correlation coefficent between risk and existing

Term
CAPM vs Leverage Approach
Definition

note that (S1-S)/p divided S/P

= Cov(x/p,L/P)/Var(L/P)

So by defination

ß = (S1-S)/p divided by S/P 

Term
Leverage Ratio
Definition

Rm=Rf+(P/zSß)*Rp

  • Rm=target return on equity
  • Rp=target return on premium
  • P/zSß = Leverage ratio

(3) Bault criticisms of Feldblum CAPM
Definition
1)Industry Leverage Ratio - The CAPM risk load requires the use of industry leverage ratio, which is only theoretically
2)Industry Portfolio vs Company Portfolio - Should we use the company's own risk portfolio or the industry? Bault says a smaller company couldn't charge more.
3)Challenges associated with calculating betas. Calendar year data may not be appropriately on-leveled or have reserve deficiencies.
