PROBLEM 1: problem_Mixed_CVaR_Profile
maximize Avg_g (maximizing average expected return of the portfolio)
subject to
mixed CVaR ≤A (constraint on the mixed CVaR for the overall portfolio)
CVaR _k ≤ B_k , k = 1,…,K (constraints on individual risks formulated with CVaR)
max_risk_n ≤ B_n, n=1,…,N (set of constraints on individual risks formulated with Maximum Risk)
Box constraints (lower and upper bounds on variables)
——————————————————————–——————
mixed CVaR = weighted sum of CVaRs with different confidence levels
CVaR_k = CVaR of k-th individual risk (including contributions from various contracts)
max_risk_n = Maximum Risk of n-th individual risk (including contributions from various contracts)
Box constraints = constraints on individual decision variables

CASE STUDY SUMMARY
This case study considers a porfolio optimization problem solved by an insurance company. Two setups of the problem are considered. In the both setups the objective function is the average expected return of the portfolio. There are two groups of constraints: a) constraint on the mixed CVaR (in the first setup) or VaR (in the second setup) for the overall portfolio; b) constraints on individual risks (including contributions from various contracts). Constraints on individual risks are formulated with CVaR (in the first setup), VaR (in the second setup), and Maximum Risk (in both setups) over scenarios.
