Optimizing risk measures such as Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) of a general loss distribution is usually difficult, because 1) the loss function might lack structural properties such as convexity or differentiability since it is often generated via black-box simulation of a stochastic system; 2) evaluation of risk measures often requires rare-event simulation, which is computationally expensive.
