Abstract: In this paper we consider Fourier transform techniques to efficiently compute the Value-at-Risk and the Conditional Value-at-Risk of an arbitrary loss random variable, characterized by having a computable generalized characteristic function. We exploit the property of these risk measures of being the solution of an elementary optimization problem of convex type in one dimension for which Fast and Fractional Fourier transform can be implemented. An application to univariate loss models driven by L\'{e}vy or stochastic volatility risk factors dynamic is finally reported.
