Abstract

In this paper we establish the error rate of first order asymptotic approximation for the tail probability of sums of log-elliptical risks. Our approach is motivated by extreme value theory which allows us to impose only some weak asymptotic conditions satisfied in particular by log-normal risks. Given the wide range of applications of the log-normal model in finance and insurance our result is of interest for both rare-event simulations and numerical calculations. We present numerical examples which illustrate that the second order approximation derived in this paper significantly improves over the first order approximation.
