The optimization problem imposes a non-positive Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) of the insurer\u2019s net loss and a portfolio performance constraint. When expressing the optimization problem in a semiparametric form, we demonstrate its convexity for any integrable random variable representing the insurer\u2019s liability. Furthermore, we prove that the function defining the CVaR constraint in the semiparametric formulation is continuously differentiable when the insurer\u2019s liability has a continuous distribution. We use the Kelley-Cheney-Goldstein algorithm to solve the optimization problem in the semiparametric form and show its convergence. An empirical analysis is carried out by assuming three different liability distributions: a lognormal distribution, a gamma distribution, and a mixture of Erlang distributions with a common scale parameter. The numerical experiments show that the choice of the liability distribution plays a crucial role since marked differences emerge when comparing the mixture distribution with the other two distributions. In particular, the mixture distribution describes better the right tail of the empirical distribution of liabilities with respect to the other two distributions and implies higher capital requirements and different assets in the optimal portfolios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10287-023-00439-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,3]],"date-time":"2023-03-03T11:02:36Z","timestamp":1677841356000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Minimum capital requirement and portfolio allocation for non-life insurance: a semiparametric model with Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) constraint"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0930-1083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Staino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5527-7045","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilio","family":"Russo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4795-814X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Massimo","family":"Costabile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9101-4242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arturo","family":"Leccadito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"439_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1487","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-4266(02)00283-2","volume":"26","author":"C Acerbi","year":"2002","unstructured":"Acerbi C, Tasche D (2002) On the coherence of expected shortfall.
