Abstract: The intuition of risk is based on two main concepts: loss and variability. In this paper, we present a composition of risk and deviation measures, which contemplate these two concepts. Based on the proposed Limitedness axiom, we prove that this resulting composition, based on properties of the two components, is a coherent risk measure. Similar results for the cases of convex and co-monotone risk measures are exposed. We also provide examples of known and new risk measures constructed under this framework in order to highlight the importance of our approach, especially the role of the Limitedness axiom.


The paper focuses on a composition of risk and deviation measures, that underlies the concepts of loss and variability, in order to keep required theoretical properties. After introducing basic notations and concepts from the literature, the author presents some results concerning composition of risk and deviation measures under the ``limitedness axiom. The proposed approach, which is suitable for a wide range of applications, is further developed and clarified by some examples concerning both known and new risk measures.
