We describe several analytical and numerical procedures to obtain bounds on the distribution function of a sum of n dependent risks having fixed overlapping marginals. As an application, we produce bounds on quantile-based risk measures for portfolios of financial and actuarial interest.

In this paper we consider several multivariate extensions of comonotonicity. We show that naive extensions do not enjoy some of the main properties of the univariate concept. In order to have these properties, more structures are needed than in the univariate case.
