Insurers issuing segregated fund policies apply dynamic hedging to mitigate risks related to guarantees embedded in such policies. A typical industry practice consists in using fund mapping regressions to represent basis risk stemming from the imperfect correlation between the underlying fund...

The objective is to study the use of non-translation invariant risk measures within the equal risk pricing (ERP) methodology for the valuation of financial derivatives. The ability to move beyond the class of convex risk measures considered in several prior studies provides more flexibility...

Unlike delta-hedging or similar methods based on Greeks, global hedging is an approach that optimizes some terminal criterion that depends on the difference between the value of a derivative security and that of its hedging portfolio at maturity or exercise. Global hedging methods in discrete...

Although several works have highlighted the diversification benefits of catastrophe (CAT) bond funds as well as the attracting returns they offer, there is a lack in the literature regarding what econometric models are suitable to predict the risks of such funds. This note contributes by...
