We show how to execute a macro-hedge on a portfolio that depends on several risk factors in a one period static context. We show, by applying a orthogonalization procedure, that adding a hedging instrument with just one underlying reduces the risk of the portfolio along several dimensions but up...

We describe a method to improve credit portfolio models based on the Merton model by adding to the underlying distributions forward-looking tails deducted through the Bayesian Networks technology. Given the forward-looking stance of the approach, its results give a better quanti ed picture of...

We propose a method to integrate frequentist and subjective probabilities in order to obtain a coherent asset allocation in the presence of stress events. Our working assumption is that in normal market asset returns are sufficiently regular for frequentist statistical techniques to identify...
