(c) Suppose an insurance company has £350 million in capital available. The gain from an investment portfolio of this bank during 12-month period is normally distributed with a mean of £70 million and a standard deviation rate of £160 million. The insurance company considers 99% 12-month value at risk (a=2.33) for setting its economic capital. Assume the 1% tail of the loss distribution has the following values: 0.6% probability corresponds to a £700 million loss and 0.4% probability corresponds to a £20 million loss. Calculate annual risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) of the investment portfolio, which considers the expected tail loss.
