What is a good risk measure<br />

• A risk measure is said to be coherent when it has the following properties:<br />

• Sub-Additivity<br />

– Risk(A+B) ≤ Risk (A) + Risk (B)<br />

• Monotonicity<br />

– Risk(A) ≤ Risk (B) if A ≥ B<br />

• Positive homogeneity<br />

– Risk(kA) = k Risk(A) for any constant k<br />

• Translation invariance<br />

– Risk(A+k) = Risk(A) + k for any constant k<br />
