contents The extreme cases of risk measures, when considered within the context of distributional ambiguity, provide significant guidance for practitioners specializing in risk management of quantitative finance and insurance. In contrast to the findings of preceding studies, we focus on the study of extreme-case risk measure under distributional ambiguity with the property of increasing failure rate (IFR). The extreme-case range Value-at-Risk under distributional uncertainty, consisting of given mean and/or variance of distributions with IFR, is provided. The specific characteristics of extreme-case distributions under these constraints have been characterized, a crucial step for numerical simulations. We then apply our main results to stop-loss and limited loss random variables under distributional uncertainty with IFR.
