Abstract
⺠We construct CVaR-optimal hedges subject to constraints on the initial wealth. ⺠We also discuss how to minimize hedging costs subject to a CVaR constraint. ⺠The approach is illustrated by deriving closed-form solutions in the Black-Scholes model. ⺠A practical application: CVaR-hedging a unit-linked life insurance contract.
