PELVE from a regulatory perspective

Abstract: Under Solvency II, the Value-at-Risk (VaR) is applied, although there is broad consensus that the Expected Shortfall (ES) constitutes a more appropriate measure. Moving towards ES would necessitate specifying the corresponding ES level. The recently introduced Probability Equivalent Level of VaR and ES (PELVE) determines this by requiring that ES equals the prescribed VaR for a given future payoff, reflecting the situation of an individual insurer. We incorporate the regulator's perspective by proposing PELVE-inspired methods for multiple insurers. We analyze existence and uniqueness of the resulting ES levels, derive expressions for elliptically distributed payoffs and establish limit results for multivariate regularly distributed payoffs. A case study highlights that the choice of method is crucial when payoffs arise from different distribution families. Moreover, we recommend specific methods.
