Levy-stable scaling of risk and performance functionals

Abstract: We develop a finite-horizon model in which liquid-asset returns exhibit Levy-stable scaling on a data-driven window [tau_UV, tau_IR] and aggregate into a finite-variance regime outside. The window and the tail index alpha are identified from the log-log slope of the central body and a two-segment fit of scale versus horizon. With an anchor horizon tau_0, we derive horizon-correct formulas for Value-at-Risk, Expected Shortfall, Sharpe and Information ratios, Kelly under a Value-at-Risk constraint, and one-step drawdown, where each admits a closed-form Gaussian-bias term driven by the exponent gap (1/alpha - 1/2). The implementation is nonparametric up to alpha and fixed tail quantiles. The formulas are reproducible across horizons on the Levy window.
