Sample Average Approximation for Portfolio Optimization under CVaR constraint in an (re)insurance context

Portfolio Management 2025-05-19 v2 Risk Management

Abstract

We consider optimal allocation problems with Conditional Value-At-Risk (CVaR) constraint. We prove, under very mild assumptions, the convergence of the Sample Average Approximation method (SAA) applied to this problem, and we also exhibit a convergence rate and discuss the uniqueness of the solution. These results give (re)insurers a practical solution to portfolio optimization under market regulatory constraints, i.e. a certain level of risk.
