Portfolio Safeguard Case Studies

This case study designs a portfolio of credit default swaps (CDS) and credit indices to hedge against changes in a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) book. The hedging problem is to minimize risk of portfolio losses subject to budget and cardinality constraints on hedge positions.
