Tail Risk
In finance and insurance, tail risk refers to the risk of extreme events that have a very low probability of occurring but a very large impact. Such events lie in the tail of a loss distribution, beyond the range covered by typical or central outcomes.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Tail risk refers to extreme events with very low probability of occurrence but extremely severe losses, and its accurate estimation is directly tied to reinsurance pricing, capital adequacy, and solvency regulation.
Traditional reinsurance pricing relies on limited historical disaster samples, which makes tail risk prone to systematic underestimation.
Commonly used metrics for assessing tail risk include Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), worst-case analysis, and adversarial testing.
