We study the problem of finding the worst-case joint distribution of a set of risk factors given prescribed multivariate marginals with nonlinear loss function. The method has applications to any situation where marginals are provided, and bounds need to be determined on total portfolio risk....

We consider the problem of determining an upper bound for the value of a spectral risk measure of a loss that is a general nonlinear function of two factors whose marginal distributions are known, but whose joint distribution is unknown. The factors may take values in complete separable metric...
