Worst portfolios for dynamic monetary utility processes

Abstract We study the worst portfolios for a class of law invariant dynamic monetary utility functions with domain in a class of stochastic processes. The concept of comonotonicity is introduced for these processes in order to prove the existence of worst portfolios. Using robust representations of monetary utility function processes in discrete time, a relation between the worst portfolios at different periods of time is presented. Finally, we study conditions to achieve the maximum in the representation theorems for concave monetary utility functions that are continuous for bounded decreasing sequences.
