In this paper, we investigate static super-replicating strategies for European-type call options written on a weighted sum of asset prices. This class of exotic options includes Asian options and basket options among others. We assume that there exists a market where the plain vanilla options on...

In this paper, we elaborate a formula for determining the optimal strike price for a bond put option, used to hedge a position in a bond. This strike price is optimal in the sense that it minimizes, for a given budget, either Value-at-Risk or Tail Value-at-Risk. Formulas are derived for both...

In this article, we define a hedging strategy in a setting typical for the commodity market. Firstly, we prove the existence of the locally risk-minimizing (LRM) hedging strategy for payment streams in this setting. Next, a three-step procedure is described to determine the LRM hedging strategy....

We define the concept of conditional dominance and use it for the obtention of bounds on the edging prices of random variables. These bounds depend only on the characteristics of the financial market and the random variables to hedge. Moreover, they are coherent with equilibrium and tighter than...

Tasche [Tasche, D., 1999. Risk contributions and performance measurement. Working paper, Technische Universität München] introduces a capital allocation principle where the capital allocated to each risk unit can be expressed in terms of its contribution to the conditional tail expectation...
