Comonotonicity
Definitions
A set A ⊆ Rn is comonotonic if for any x and y in A, xi < yi for somei implies that xj ≤ yj for all j
A random vector (X1, . . . ,Xn) is called comonotonic if it has acomonotonic support
Equivalent Characterizations
A random vector (X1, . . . ,Xn) with marginal cdf’s FXi(x) = Pr [Xi ≤ x ] is
said to be comonotonic if
for U ∼ Uniform(0, 1), we have
(X1, . . . ,Xn)d=(F−1

Stochastic order and comonotonicity Comonotonicity
1 Interpretation
very strong positive dependence structureif x and y are possible outcomes of X , then they must be orderedcomponentwisecommon monotonicthe higher the value of one component Xi , the higher the value of anyother component Xj
all components driven by one and the same random variable ⇒one-dimensional
2 Comonotonicity has some interesting properties that can be used tofacilitate various complicated problems
Several functions are additive for comonotonic variables⇒ multivariate problem is reduced to univariate ones for which quite often
analytical expressions are availableComonotonicity leaves the marginals FXi intact
⇒ for MC simulation: simulated samples needed in univariate cases arereadily available from the main simulation routine

Theorem
For any K ∈(F−1+
Sc (0),F−1Sc (1)
), any fair price C [K ] of the option
with pay-off (S− K )+ at time T satisfies
C [K ] ≤ e−rTE[(Sc − K )+
]=

[F−1(α)Xi
(FSc (K ))]
with α given by
α =F−1+
Sc (FSc (K ))− K
F−1+Sc (FSc (K ))− F−1
Sc (FSc (K ))
in case F−1+Sc (FSc (K )) 6= F−1
Sc (FSc (K )) and α = 1 otherwise.

given by

Application 1: Comonotonic Monte Carlo simulation
instead of deriving bounds one can look at approximations
e.g. Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is a technique that providesapproximate solutions to a broad range of mathematical problems
drawback of the method is its high computational cost, especially in ahigh-dimensional setting
⇒ variance reduction techniques were developed to increase the precisionand reduce the computer time
the so-called Comonotonic Monte Carlo simulation uses thecomonotonic upper bound e−rTE [(Sc − K )+] as a control variate toget more accurate estimates and hence a less time-consumingsimulation

Application 2: Minimizing risk by using put option Risk measures
Properties risk measures
Properties
Monotonicity: Y1 ≤ Y2 implies ρ[Y1] ≤ ρ[Y2], for any Y1,Y2 ∈ Γ
Positive homogeneity: ρ[aY ] = aρ[Y ], for any Y ∈ Γ and a > 0
Translation invariance: ρ[Y + b] = ρ[Y ]+ b, for any Y ∈ Γ and b ∈ RSubadditivity: ρ[Y1 + Y2] ≤ ρ[Y1] + ρ[Y2], for any Y1,Y2 ∈ Γ
Additivity of comonotonic risks: for any Y1,Y2 ∈ Γ which arecomonotonic: ρ[Y1 + Y2] = ρ[Y1] + ρ[Y2]

Application 2: Minimizing risk by using put option Risk measures
Some well-known risk measures
Value-at-Risk at level p: p-quantile risk measure
VaRp[Y ] = F−1Y (p) = inf x ∈ R | FY (x) ≥ p
related risk measure:VaR+
p [Y ] = F−1+Y (p) = sup x ∈ R | FY (x) ≤ p
monotonic, positive homogeneous, translation invariant, additive forcomonotonic risks but not subadditive ⇒ not coherent
Tail Value-at-Risk at level p or Conditional VaR
TVaRp[Y ] =1

∫ 1
pVaRq[Y ]dq
coherent risk measure and additive for comonotonic risks
