Abstract

The risk minimizing problem E[l((HXTx,π)+)]πmin\mathbf{E}[l((H-X_T^{x,\pi})^{+})]\overset{\pi}{\longrightarrow}\min in the multidimensional Black-Scholes framework is studied. Specific formulas for the minimal risk function and the cost reduction function for basket derivatives are shown. Explicit integral representations for the risk functions for l(x)=xl(x)=x and l(x)=xpl(x)=x^p, with p>1p>1 for digital, quantos, outperformance and spread options are derived.
