The present work studies s -convex orders using a remarkable probabilistic generalization of Taylor's theorem obtained by Massey & Whitt (1993) and further discussed by Lin (1994). We propose two methods for approximating a given risk with known first moments by means of s -convex extremal distributions. The goodness of those approximations is explored using stop-loss distances. Several applications show the interest of this approach in actuarial sciences.
