Abstract

We show weak convergence of the empirical Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in functional space and the asymptotic normality of the CVaR-based Pickands estimator from Chen (2021). These results demonstrate that the CVaR-based estimator has significantly lower asymptotic variance than analogous VaR-based constructions.
